Gmail for iOS Updated With All-New Look, Instant Search, Undo Send, and Swipe to Archive

Monday November 7, 2016 5:42 AM PST by Joe Rossignol

Gmail for iOS received a major update today with a brand new look, improved search with instant results and spelling suggestions, Undo Send for retracting accidental emails, and swipe to archive functionality for easier inbox management.

The app now more closely resembles Inbox by Gmail and Gmail for Android with a Material Design makeover, including an all-new pop-out side menu with a splash of color. Meanwhile, the new features should result in a faster experience for iPhone users.

I wish they'd just bring back push compatibility. I don't want multiple email clients on my phone.

I'm not saying iOS mail app is perfect but i just don't get google doing an app for iOS and then making it worse than the stock option. So many missing things.

Good to see that Google is still completely ignoring iOS design guidelines. At least now I don't have to bother to try out the new version.
