According to information provided by Google, the Gmail's new look will arrive for its users starting next week. With that, the new appearance will follow Google's standard for most of its platforms, which is also changing in 2022.
However, the change should happen gradually, so what will be available next week is just a first step. Thus, the change is expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2022 when Gmail will complete its annual update.

In addition, the changes in the look of the platform will not only favor the aesthetics of the site, but it is noted that the proposal seeks to improve the functionality of Gmail. In this case, the change has greater emphasis on Google's Workspace function.
Users noted that Gmail's new aesthetic showed concern for highlighting Google's utility tools. As a result, Workspace-specific solutions also gain greater visual prominence within the new model. In this way, Google is able to extend certain features so that they are not just positioned windows.
On the contrary, these functionalities gain a new visual aspect that would be an identity of its own. On the other hand, by giving more emphasis to the Workspace tools, the email box, which used to be the protagonist, loses space. Therefore, many people will certainly not recognize the new Gmail platform at first glance.
A novelty that drew attention was the signaling of notifications, as now small numbered circles will inform notifications. With that, Gmail loses that listing aspect, where all unread emails are displayed right away.
Google will still keep the option to stay within the old configuration, if the person prefers. However, the company will strongly encourage users to use the new update, which they find more efficient.
For now, the change has been pleasing many users and others not so much, but it definitely caught everyone's attention. Finally, if you liked this article, don't forget to share it with friends who also love technology!
