Gmail’s new Inbox widget displays the last three emails and more
In iOS 14, Apple introduced widgets that allow iPhone and iPad users to add widgets directly on the Home Screen, among apps, to view useful information at a glance without opening the app like weather, traffic update, and more. And to get more put on the Gmail widget, Google has added new features.
The widget joins the existing widget that displays a compose button, a search interface, and lets users know how many unread emails are in the inbox. The widget also shows a preview of the emails’ content which makes it more informative.
Although the release notes of the latest update do not list the new widget, the changes will show when the app is updated to the latest version. Users can add the new widget on the Home Screen or Today screen. The release note reads:
Stay on top of the work that matters with Gmail, part of Google Workspace. With secure email as the foundation, you can also chat, collaborate with a group in spaces or make voice or video calls – all in one place.
