Gmail will also have different formats in its app
The company Google continues working to improve its different applications Especially now that a new version of the operating system is about to drop Android, with which presumably some changes will arrive beyond the merely aesthetic. Among the updates this week, the email tool Gmail has been around, although surprising for not adding any new function.At least apparently, and there are some things inside that could be about to change, improving its usefulness itself, sending richer emails in format, but also in collaboration with other services.
This has been discovered in the middle Android Police, where they tend to scrutinize the code of these updates trying to find out what will be the next step of Google In this way, and although it does not seem that Gmail 5.6 has contributed anything, Yes, it is preparing to accommodate all kinds of formats, fonts and style elements for writing new messages through the application. Something that is present in the web version, but not through mobile phones.
In this way, the code indicates that soon it will be possible to write texts in bold, in italics , with underlined or even with strikethrough formatSomething that can give dynamism to emails from mobile phones, as well as guide reading and the user's eye There will also be room for colors, being present for the moment red, blue, green, yellow, gray and black Basic but sufficient to highlight any detail of the message. In addition, there will be a button to clear the email format That is, to leave it original, with the predefined font and the current black color.
At the moment there are no more details, although it is hoped that these improvements will arrive in the next version through the drop-down button of Gmailonce you are inside the compose screen. Questions that are expected to also reach the application Inbox of Google That dependent postmaster of Gmail and that usually offers the same possibilities as this one, but with the option of sorting the emails in the inbox as if they were tasks to be done.
Besides this, there is one more hint within the new version of Gmail with interesting options. Apparently Gmail could soon work side by side with Google Calendar An option that still it does not follow what practical applications could be used. However, the code reveals that Gmail will have access to data from Calendar (Google Calendar), perhaps allowing you to be alerted to possible meetings if you send an email with a date and location that coincides with a previously established appointment. Something for which we will have to wait a while to find out more.
In short, an update that, once again, surprises more for what it hides than for the news it brings. And it is that Gmail 5.6 does not bring new functions for current users on Android, but prepares the land to be even more useful and productive.The new version can now be downloaded free via Google Play
