Gmail for iPhone and iPad now ties in better with Google+ and Drive
The application of email of Google for the platform iOS, i.e. for iPhone and iPad , it has just received an update It is a new version that brings few but important new features for Google app users on Apple devices With this, the convenience of use and various specific functions are greatly improved, although it may not be something that affects most users.We explain it in detail below.
This is the version 2.4 of Gmail for iOS It only has two functions, as can be seen in its list of news. The first one refers to an improvement of the attached files in sent and received emails. This translates into a enlargement of the thumbnail image of these files, allowing the user to get an idea of what they will contain before even downloading them to the terminal from their tray entrance. Also, related to this same issue, previews of these documents are now full screen , taking full advantage of the device panel. These previews are a way to see the content of these attachments without having to download the document in full or in full quality. Issues that improve the overall user experience of the application.
The other novelty, for its part, tries to facilitate and accommodate the relationship with other Google applications on these platforms. Specifically, it is about supporting the links or links to the social network Google+ and the cloud storage or Internet service of Google Drive This issue makes it easier to reach a or another application, as long as they are installed in the terminal, from an email or message from Gmail Just by clicking on a linkinserted in said mail.
This issue allows the user to directly access those applications and not to their web version, having access to the tools and features offered by the Applications. Something that can really be an advantage for the active user of these tools, although it may not be for everyone.For that reason, along with this feature, Google has also included an option in the Gmail Settings menuthat allows you to disable this feature, returning to the previous operation: link to the tool on the web and not in the application itself.
In short, a minor update that seeks the comfort of the most active users of the tools of Google on the Apple platform, although it may go unnoticed by those who do not use the social network of the search engine or its Internet storage tool It is only worth highlighting the success of the increase in size and use of the screen for the question of the attached documents. Something that improves the comfort and experience of using this email client. Version 2.4 of Gmail for iPhone and iPad is now fully available for download free via App Store
