Gmail iOS app gets better navigation, message handling on iPads
Google has updated its Gmail iOS app with improvements aimed at simplifying user-interface navigation and enhancing message viewing and composition on iPads.
“Tablets are great because the large screen not only gives you a more immersive experience but also extra room for serious multitasking,” wrote Carmen Wilkinson, a Google software engineer, in a blog post Thursday.
Now, when holding the iPad in landscape mode, the Gmail app displays a new vertical navigation bar in the left side of the screen.
The column-type navigation bar is a permanent part of the interface when the app is used in landscape mode. It has icons for several app features, including the different inbox categories in Gmail—such as Primary, Social and Promotions—along with a message counter for each.
