New Gmail iOS Update Catches Up with Android

By Sia. in Mobile. November 9, 2016.

iOS users are finally getting a much-needed update on their Gmail app, with changes to the design, performance, search function etc.

The biggest change that Gmail for iOS has is its updated design. This update brings Material Design to iOS devices, a look identical to the one found on the Android version.

Emails now show you small avatars of the sender, and the sidebar now allows you to switch your email accounts faster.

Gmail for iOS has also received a performance boost with the latest update, making the app far more responsive than it used to be.

A few other features include the “Undo Sent” option as well as the “Swipe Message to Archive” feature.

Finally, Gmail for iOS’s search functionality has been updated, allowing the app to actively filter through your entire inbox, returning suggestions while you’re still typing in the search box.
