If you are one of the users who have more than one Gmail account associated with their application, this interests you. And is that now Gmail allows you to change user by sliding up or down on the profile photo.
Surely you have noticed that while browsing gmail everything has its gestures, it works very fast and without problems. But when it came to changing accounts, when you had to click on the top and select from the drop-down menu of accounts, you lost a bit of speed when using the application. And now it seems that Gmail wants to change this.
Gmail and switch accounts with a gesture
We already had this option on iOS for a few months, and we are surprised to see how long it has taken to implement on Android, with Gmail and Android from the same company: Google.
But the option is already here, and it is very comfortable and easy to use. You just have to locate your profile photo, which is located in the upper right part of the screen, as you may already know. There you make a gesture of swiping down or up and the account you are using will change, and therefore your inbox and outbox, which will obviously be the new account.
It works fast and is appreciated for making a quick change. If you only have two accounts you can switch between them instantly . If you have more than one, you may want to do it in the usual way to select the account that best suits you at that time without having to go through all of them to get to the one you want.
This option, although it may not seem like it, is not new, not even on Android, but it was not available for Gmail. You could use this option in apps like Maps to Google Contacts. Apps in which it was not bad at all to have this faster and more efficient option, but perhaps Gmail is more practical to be able to navigate between all your accounts. It is also available in Google Drive, very useful also to be able to navigate between your different accounts in the cloud.
All this is compiled in the latest version of Gmail, version 2019.08.18, which is coming to the Play Store, but you can also download it from APK Mirror If you haven't received the update yet and you want to try it right now. You will also be able to see the first brushstrokes of Gmail's dark mode.
