Back in December, Google updated the user interface on its Gmail app for iOS. Today, the company has also updated the Gmail experience on mobile browsers, featuring the same new look and improved functions as the app. According to Google, the changes are a response to positive feedback from users.
"Since launching the rebooted Gmail app for iPhone and iPad in December, we’ve heard from many of you that you like the redesigned UI, along with new features such as improved search and integration with Google Calendar," reads a post on the Gmail Google+ account. "Today we’re rolling out a similar refreshed look to the Gmail mobile web app."
The December update to Gmail for iOS brought a streamlined look to the app, and added new features such as better auto-complete searches and a more streamlined Calendar. According to today's post, most if not all of these improvements are now available on the mobile web version.
Additionally, Google has brought the same updates to its Gmail Offline Chrome extension. Gmail Offline allows users to access their inbox and email archives, even when disconnected.
Granted, there's still a very real question as to why anyone would want to use the mobile web version of Gmail over the iOS app, but to each their own. You can check out the update right now in the iOS browser of your choice.
