Gmail is one of the most popular and commonly used mailing services across the world. This is the reason; Gmail is also a part of the Google Play store market now for people who wish to use it on their android devices. Now android Gmail is getting some amazing updates that can make it now even more user-friendly and reliable for the users. The Gmail lock screen authentication was an annoyance for a number of users for quite a sometime. This can be the reason that Gmail is having its update for its lock screen this time.
Altogether Gmail is now ready to get a fresh makeover with some of the amazing changes in its features. Now it will be even faster and more convenient for you. You can now tap on a person’s avatar to check your conversations with that person, his or her contact info and some others. You can also now switch from various categories such as inbox, drafts or sent box faster than before. You can also switch easily in between various accounts of Google.
Even people who are using the application of Gmail on their smartphone with android lollypop can hide the notifications from the lock screen. Also the new application is said to have another update with which you will be able to get the option of un-scribing from Gmail that you never had before.
So, how will this new lock screen of Gmail work? Here, a major change has taken place. Now for signing in you cannot enter your username and password in one single screen. You have to first enter your username that will take you to another page where you have to enter your password. Apart from this, there are no other changes made in the sign in method. An employee of Google clears out in a forum that this was needed so that Gmail can offer such stronger and more authenticated security to the user’s login page. This will also minimize the confusions in between multiple accounts.
For users it is important to know that with the updated version they must not get confused if they see their full name and profile picture in the login page. This will be only there where you have used and saved your password such as your home computer or your smartphone. Otherwise if you open your Gmail account from some other new device, you will have to enter all your details.
Though Gmail has incorporated the changes taking care of the proper authentication of the users on their accounts, but by now there are many responses that have come among which many are negative. There are many who have considered the login in setting to be a waste time and inconvenient. But still it is yet to be noticed that actually how it works and what more updates Gmail is coming up with.
