What’s changing
In addition to similar announcements we’ve recently made for
Drive and
Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Sites on the web, we’re now bringing a new look to Gmail on mobile, too.
As part of the new design, you can quickly view attachments—like photos—without opening or scrolling through the conversation. It’s also easier to switch between personal and work accounts, so you can access all of your emails without breaking a sweat.
A more minimal use of color helps you focus on content and what's important to you. We’ve also replaced the search button with a more prominent search bar at the top of the screen.
And just like on the web, you’ll get big, red warnings to alert you when something looks phish-y.
