Why you’d use it
Gmail iOS
recently launched a brand new mobile redesign, which provided Gmail users with a new look and feel to help you get things done faster. This new redesign also highlights the importance of avatars, and how many users use these to find more information about people they are interacting with.
How to get started
- Admins: No action required.
- End users: In Conversation View on Gmail on iOS, simply tap on someone’s profile picture to see their contact information in more detail.
Additional details
If your organization enters information such as office location and reporting chain in users’ profiles, you’ll also be able to see this information when you click on their profile picture.
Pro Tip: if you are trying to find an upcoming meeting with someone in your organization, the Interactions tab will show you upcoming Calendar events too.
