In addition to integrating chat and rooms with Gmail, Google recently introduced smaller but charming animations when removing emails in the list view on Android.
Gmail’s mobile apps have long offered “swipe email” to quickly archive, delete, mark as read / unread, move and suspend messages. It is a very convenient way to sort your inbox. Each gesture is already distinguished by a background color, but Google is now animating the icon to provide additional confirmation of the action.
For example, marking as read closes the fold of the envelope, while the file moves the arrow to a box. Delete raises the lid of the trash can, the movement sees another arrow action and the snooze causes the clock to spin. It is absolutely a small detail, but whimsical, and these animations add to the way Gmail for Android in February added confirmatory vibration feedback to prevent accidental slips.
Make sure you have the latest Gmail for Android update (version 2021.03.07) from last week installed to get these slide animations. It is not available on the iOS app.
