Gmail for Mobile Adds Multiple Accounts and Tweaks Other Features!

Posted by admin on 23 September 2011 No Comment

“Multiple account log-ins and vacation-message creation have been added to the mobile version of Gmail, Google’s email program, for Android and iOS devices. The changes were rolled out yesterday and are available today.”

Desktop users of Gmail have been able to login into multiple accounts simultaneously for some time–mobile users can now do it, also. Accessing multiple accounts is as easy as tapping the new account switcher button at the bottom of mobile Gmail’s browser interface. That will display a pop-up menu that gives you the option of switching between accounts or signing in to all accounts simultaneously.

“Of course, if you don’t already have multiple accounts enabled, you will need to enable it first by visiting your account settings and selecting the box that allows you to access multiple Google accounts in the same browser,” Juli Clover reminded Gmail users in the PadGadget blog.

If you do use multiple accounts, you might want to create a bookmark that lives on the application screen of your device for each account. Not all devices support this feature, but iOS phones and tablets, which use the Safari browser, do. On those devices, while Gmail is in your browser window, tap the bookmark icon beside the address bar and from the pop-up menu that appears, choose “Add to Home Screen.”

The additions aren’t huge; they’re mostly standard features that are just new to this version of the service. There are still quite a few reasons to pull up the web version of Gmail, and an update like this makes things easier for those times. Despite all of its issues, I would still recommend hooking up your Gmail to the iPhone’s mail app, but having the web service to use when you want is very helpful. – tuaw
