I report them as spam everytime, maybe 20 times but they still come through as primary email
I have followed the advice on google, it says click on the right bar and choose block, but that option it's just not there on my iPad gmail.
How Can I block them please?

1. On a computer (get a friend to do it if you don't have a computer?) Block sender instructions here (just tested and works)

2. And if that doesn't work create a filter...
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/filters
(click on Create a new filter)
Enter the senders email address then click on Create filter with this search , then select Delete it and then Create filterIf you put your general location in your Profile, somebody here may be able to come and help you.0 -

** NB. the first link has a tab specificically for "ipad" - not sure if it makes any differenceIf you put your general location in your Profile, somebody here may be able to come and help you.0 -
As above, can you access Gmail via your browser on the iPad? Even if only to block someone (can you really not block on the app?)0

are you clicking on the right '3 dots'? just tried it on android app and block sender is there when you click on the '3 dots' within message. can't believe it wouldn't be available on apple tablet as important feature"The Holy Writ of Gloucester Rugby Club demands: first, that the forwards shall win the ball; second, that the forwards shall keep the ball; and third, the backs shall buy the beer." - Doug Ibbotson0
