Gmail introduces Smart Layout and Gemini AI tools on Android and iOS

Google is updating Gmail on both Android and iOS with improved design and smarter AI features aimed at improving the user experience.

Android tablet and foldable users will notice a more adaptable interface in landscape mode. The updated layout allows users to drag the divider between the inbox list and email content to adjust it to their preferred size — or even shrink it for a single-pane view. The feature is rolling out gradually to both Workspace and personal account holders.

Meanwhile, Gmail for iOS is getting a visual refresh with Material Design 3, bringing it more closely in line with the Android and web versions. The update includes rounded “pill-shaped” buttons at the bottom and a sleek, curved search bar at the top. iOS users of Google Calendar are also gaining the ability to create and edit birthday events, a feature Android users already enjoy.
On the AI ​​front, Google is bringing Gemini’s image generation tool directly to Gmail’s sidebar on both Android and iOS for Workspace accounts. Just like on the web, users can create custom images within the app and easily save, copy, or drop them into email drafts.

These updates are aimed at making Gmail smarter and more intuitive, no matter what device you’re using.
