Mail app not syncing with web gmail

Just recently, when I check my gmail on my iPhone in the mail app (to open messages, move them into folders/labels, or delete/archive them) the changes I have made are not reflected in my gmail desktop view. For example, the last 3 days I checked my email on my phone, deleted a bunch of messages and read them all, but then when I log into gmail on my desktop web browser, I have 60 unread messages from the last 3 days.


I can delete or open mail from web gmail and those changes are reflected in my ios mail app, but not vis versa. Can someone please help me with this? 


iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Try a New App Password:

One each device, try creating and using a new App Password. Your App Password may need to resync - something typical after update installations. You would log in using that password, rather than your email password. Here Is the site for gmailSign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
