Gmail 5.0 for Android Comes with a New Look and Features

Recently, Google has been visually upgrading a lot of its Android apps and now its Gmail’s turn to shine. With the latest update of Gmail for Android, Google is not only changing the look and design of Gmail but also adding some extra features. Google has added support for Yahoo and outlook in its Gmail app. It seems that Google wants to combine all android email into its Gmail app. Furthermore, Not only Yahoo and Outlook are being added, Google mentioned they are also adding other services like IMAP and POP3 into Gmail. Google also enhanced Exchange ActiveSync in Gmail, which will help users to not end up being forced to flip back and forth between different Android mail services.

The visual upgrade is also quite big. You should expect to see a complete overhaul with renewed icons, mail page layout and some other visual tweaks. Gmail 5.0 isn’t available yet so you will have to wait a little bit till you get hands on these new features. Though we still don’t know the exact date when it will be out, but many people expect it to be out when Android Lollipop arrives which is just few weeks away. There is also no detail on iOS version of Gmail 5.0 yet. But we expect it to have a visual overhaul too with similar enhancement in features.
