Gmail for iOS updated to Material Design standards after four years

Gmail has a new look to it on iOS from today and it’s the look that Android users have been used to for a while now.

Google has updated the look of the Gmail app for iPhone and iPad to reflect Material Design standards and incorporate features like “Undo Send,” instant search results and swiping emails to archive/delete.

Google Calendar also had a few tweaks to support a month view and landscape view for a week. Calendar results will pop up in Spotlight Search. Also, if you follow Hindu, Islamic, Lunar or other non-Gregorian calendars, you have options to view your calendar in those terms, too.

Look to the App Store for that update button on both of these apps.
