Google has prepared a new widget for Gmail. Will you try the change?

Android 12 is officially out, many manufacturers have already announced its adoption on many phones, and in the meantime Google is finishing changing its tools into the new Material You style. After the applications themselves Widgets have also come in handy and one of the latest is the one for Gmail. He has already been seen in some mobile phones, so we can see what he will look like and what he will be able to do. Compared to the current solution it will be a big change.

If you have the Android 11 and older Gmail widget, you’re used to, for example, square borders, solid simple colors, or a button for composing a new message at the bottom right. And all these items are different for the new variant for Android 12 with Material You. As you can see in the attached slides, not only has arrived in the widget reworked color style, overall chubby visual with bordered messages and also the expected rounded corners, but also several functional changes in the UI.

The pencil icon for sending a message has moved to the right and its space can take up new elements. Appears when you expand the widget to landscape Buttons for Chat, Places and Meetings (if you haven’t turned them off completely) and when you lower the height to a smaller size, the trio moves to the right. Many people will certainly welcome it as well possibility to archive or delete the message without having to open the application. Some of the changes (captured in the Gmail application in version 2021.10.31) are really practical, but we dare say that many people will still not be able to combine them with the look of the widget.

How do you feel about the new Gmail widget?
