How many Flags are allowed in Sonoma

Trying to create more flags on laptop or iphone. I have 6 colors as it is great for follow up.


How many can we have? I can not find the answer anywhere?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.6

You can't add any more flags to Mac Mail. 7 max. As you've found, you can rename them, but can't add new ones.

From your Finder—


Use keyboard shortcuts to tag files quickly—select a file, then use Control-1 through Control-7 to add (or remove) your favorite tags. Control-0 (zero) removes all tags from a file.
