Gmail for Android gets updated regularly and normally it’s just a matter of downloading and installing the update, but with the latest update (4.2), you will need to make some adjustments to your settings in order to enjoy the new features. This new update includes pinch-to-zoom for all HTML emails as well as a new swiping gesture when looking at emails in your inbox or other labels. They are both quite easy and won’t take more than a minute or two, so hit the break to see how it’s done.
Pinch-to-Zoom
- From you inbox, tap the menu key (the 3 dots on the screen or the hard menu key on your device)
- Tap Settings
- Tap General settings
As you can see in the image below, you want to check “Auto-fit messages”. This will automatically zoom out all HTML emails and give you the ability to pinch-to-zoom.
Swiping Conversations
From the same General settings menu from above, you want to tap on Swiping Conversation List. You have three options for every time you swipe. 1) Do nothing, 2) archive or delete depending on which label you are viewing, or 3) Always delete. I prefer always delete, but make the choice that works best for you.
