You can use the PAB icon to report any email as a phishing email, but you cannot use the PAB to report multiple emails at once. You should report each potential phishing email individually. However, if you report an email that has multiple emails associated with it, all of the associated emails will be reported as well.

To use the PAB add-on from the Gmail app on your mobile device, follow the instructions below.

 Instructions

  1. Log in to the Gmail app on your mobile device.

  2. Open the email that you would like to report.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and locate the available add-ons section.

  4. From the add-ons section, click the phish hook icon and scroll down to the bottom of the screen to access the PAB.

  5. Click the blue Report This Suspicious Email button to report the email.

  6. If enabled, you will see a confirmation message and the email will be moved to your Trash folder.

  7. Click the back arrow to return to your inbox.

Highlight important information in a panel like this one. To edit this panel's color or style, select one of the options in the menu.
