The Gmail app for Android has picked up several new features over the past few months, prominent among them being Help Me Write, with several other AI functions expected to land through Workspace Labs in the future. Apart from these significant inclusions, a minor visual change made headlines in June when Google decided to replace the red Gmail icon in the notification shade with a dynamic theming-enabled icon. Following backlash from many app users, the change was reversed not much later. Google's back to experimenting again, or so we think, as the red icon in the notification shade has disappeared, but this time in favor of a static blue option.
