Check Out These 4 New Features For Gmail On Android
# Interacting with your inbox
Google has made very minor changes on the Gmail and will be easier to use.
As far as the changes on the inside are concerned, the compose button is placed now in the lower right of the screen to enable the user to start writing emails immediately, the reply buttons are now placed at the bottom of every email allowing users to finish reading the message click and reply instantaneously.
Another change is that the most common actions have been moved out of hidden app menus and into the Gmail app interface. On the inbox, there's a button at the top-right for quickly moving emails to a different folder and with the compose view the new attachment button is on the upper right.
# New options for swiping
On the old Gmail app it only gave you the option to delete emails with a swipe, but hidden new feature in the settings allows you to select how you want to deal with the new messages.
On the general settings, you now have a listing for the Gmail default action where you can set it to either ‘Archive’ to save the emails in your account or Delete the email entirely. Based on your selection, every time you swipe an email, it will default to that setting.
# An overall better way to Gmail
The new Gmail app isn’t going to turn the heads around with its new features but instead, many smaller changes refine the interface, making the experience easier. The new access to the other non-Gmail accounts is the best, which cuts down the number of apps you will need to open your email.
However, considering the whole new experience, it looks different, there's lot more space and it doesn't feel as small as before. But with more buttons moved out of menus and into the interface, the similar day to day actions would be easier and efficient for the users.
