A New Version of Gmail app for Android Launched!

Google released an update for its Gmail app for Android yesterday. The new update will make your life much easier as notable changes are applied. Now you can feel a different experience in replying emails, opening archive, and finding the older messages. A new feature lets you reply right from the notifications. This new update will satisfy many users since many of us were expecting more from the Gmail app for Android. Archiving messages also becomes much easier with one tap only.

New functionality in Gmail app for Android 

The new functionality will give more powerful effect to the user when combined with other features such as messages customizing. At least that is what stated by Andy Huang, the Google software engineer. Maybe not all users will be interested in this feature, but those who use email to communicate intensely would. Say you have a business colleague that you contact each day by mail. You can set a ringtone specifically for him or her. Guess what, the app would ring the ringtone for every email coming from him / her. 

This feature is not something new though, as most Android Smartphones also have this kind of functionality hidden in the "contact" section. However this capability might be useful for you since you know what action to take after hearing certain ringtones. For example, the Gmail app for Android sounds a ringtone set for your secret admire or spam contacts, then you can choose to just ignore it. Conversely, when you set a ringtone for an important contact, you will soon realize an incoming mail from the contact and reply as you see it.

There are still some changes in the newer version of Gmail app for Android, like better search and improved search suggestions. You can take advantage of all these through android 4.0 ICS or above. If you are still loyal to the older versions of Android like 2.2 Froyo, you can be happy now as the update embraces older Android as well though the improvement levels can’t be determined now. To get it installed on your Smartphone, just go to the Google Play Store and get a copy of it. Just as a reminder, this new update arrived just a week after Google overhauled its Gmail mobile Web app.
