Gmail App for Android Update Helps You Search and Reply Faster

Gmail unveiled an update to its Android app Monday, enabling users to reply, archive and search messages more efficiently.

Those who own a device running Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and up, can now reply and archive messages straight from their notifications by making a quick selection. In a blog post, Google software engineer Andy Huang includes an example of the update, seen below.

Huang also suggests combining the update with existing notification features, such as customizing the messages that receive notifications, and setting up different sounds for certain labels.

The revamped app also adds faster search capabilities and "better" search suggestions, so users can find their messages with greater ease both online and offline, Huang says.

For devices running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the update brings bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as faster search. Those powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo) and up, can now see a "New Labels API" for third-party app developers.

Users can download the app's latest version from Google Play. Will you be updating your Gmail app for Android? Tell us in the comments, below.
