Google has issued a new update for their Gmail app for Apple iOS users.
The newly redesigned app is Google's latest effort to bring real-time notifications and support through multiple accounts.
"With today's update to the Gmail app for iPhone and iPad, you can save even more time when you email on the go," wrote Google's Product Manager Phil Sharp. "Version 2.1 lets you swipe left or right to move between conversations on the iPhone without needing to return to the inbox. You'll be burning through those unread messages in a flash!"
In addition to the updated swipe features, the Gmail app features include:
- Switch between up to 5 accounts,
- Get notified of new mail fast, with notification center, badge and lock screen options,
- Search through all your mail quickly - now with predictions as you type ,
- See profile pictures as part of the conversation,
- Read your mail with threaded conversations,
- Auto-complete contact names as you type from your Google contacts or your phone ,
- Respond to Google Calendar invites right from the app ,
- Read and respond to interactive Google+ posts right from the app ,
- Organize your mail by archiving, labeling, starring, deleting and reporting spam,
- Send and receive attachments ,
- Customize emails with custom scribbles.
"Additionally, it's now easier for you to take action on multiple messages. Selecting a message in the inbox now enables edit mode. Once in edit mode, tap on messages to select them and then choose to archive, delete, or more, from the new actions bar at the top of the screen. You may select Cancel at any time to leave edit mode," added the Google product manager.
The app also includes performance improvements and bug fixes, however, Google has not specified on those details.
The Gmail app is compatible with iOS 5.0 or later and is optimized for the iPhone 5. The app is also compatible with the iPod touch and iPad.
