Spam explanations

Have you ever wondered why a message ended up in spam? You'll now find an explanation at the top of every spam message.

Improved RTL support

If you're an English speaker, you’re used to reading sentences from left-to-right. But there are a lot of languages out there that are written from right-to-left (RTL), such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. If you're a speaker of one of these languages, Gmail on Android now looks and feels the way you'd expect with profile pictures and the navigation menu on the right instead of the left.

Improved user interface

The update offers a new pull-to-refresh animation, bringing the familiar red, yellow, blue, and green color animation from the Google Search app to GMail. The length of swipe necessary to trigger a refresh has also been shortened.

Like Google's other native apps, Gmail has moved Settings, Help, and Feedback from the overflow menu to the sliding navigation drawer.

The GMail profile switcher has also been updated, now showing the relevant user account avatar next to the account name, instead of the radio buttons from before.

Additionally the empty screens have been updated with new animations, so that when you don't have spam, you get a friendlier graphics instead of the text from before.

There's now a new shortcut to Google account management (normally accessed from the settings app).

Last but not least Gmail will show you the rest of truncated messages. Previously, a message that was too long would be truncated, with no way to view the entire text of the message through the app. Now, users can choose to see the whole thing.
