The new design, which has been in a public preview for the last several months, puts access to Chat, Spaces, and Meet on the top left-hand side of the main Gmail window. Users can freely switch between all of these apps without having to launch them separately. You can also customize that section and leave out any of the apps you don’t want to use, in the Quick Settings section. Google points out that if you like the old design, you will still have the option of sticking with the standard Gmail format.
In addition to the new design, Google is also working on more Gmail features. They include improvements in search results which are available now. In the near future, we should also see a revamped Gmail look for tablet devices, along with improvements in accessibility features and new emoji designs.
