Gmail for Android updated with unified inbox, smarter search and more

Gmail for Android updated with unified inbox, smarter search and more
Finally, here’s a feature most Android users have been waiting for. Google has finally updated its Gmail for Android app to view all inboxes in one page. Users who’ve been using multiple Gmail accounts on their smartphone, won’t have to switch accounts each time and simply opt for the ‘All Inboxes’ option.
“Starting today you’ll be able to view all your mail at once, regardless of which account it’s from, using the new “All Inboxes” option. This way you can read and respond to all your messages without having to hop between accounts,” the search giant said in an official Gmail blogpost.
Threaded conversations are one of the favourite Gmail features as they keep your messages organized. Google says that now Yahoo, Outlook.com and other IMAP/POP accounts will also appear stacked as one conversation.
The updated app is also said to bring along better auto-complete for searches. However, Google hasn’t specified what exactly has been improved. “Search is the cornerstone of Google, and of Gmail. The new Gmail app for Android has better auto-complete, so you can find what you need even faster,” the blogpost said.
Besides this, users will be able to save documents to Drive with a single tap and also view larger attachment previews.
There is no word on when the new updates will be coming to Gmail for iOS.
