Google always tries to make the user experience better and easy. In its continued efforts to increase the user involvement, it has added yet another amazing feature to its Gmail App in Android devices.
The new feature that’s introduced, strives at simplifying the user experience to the maximum. The new feature now lets users customize the swipe feature in Gmail app.
The earlier version of the Gmail app only allowed users to archive or delete the email when they swiped any email. Every user who is used to using the swipe feature must already know it. The updated swipe feature in Gmail app now let you decide what function you want the swipe feature to perform on the mail.
This is a good feature since it allows you to decide as well as eliminates the need for holding and tapping the emails to open them first and then perform functions on it. Using the new swipe feature users can simply apply changes to the unread mail.
The new updated Swipe feature in Gmail App easily lets you perform many functions like deleting a mail, archiving a mail, mark it read or unread, snooze it, move it and even leave it as it is without any function being performed on it.
