Google is rolling out exciting Gmail mobile updates for Android and iOS users, bringing fresh design changes, new flexibility for tablets and foldables, and expanded access to Gemini’s AI features.
For Android tablet and foldable owners, the latest Gmail mobile updates introduce a flexible user interface that now lets you drag the divider to adjust the list and conversation panes in landscape view. Users can even slide the divider fully to one side to enjoy a single-pane layout if preferred. This feature is rolling out gradually to both Workspace and personal Gmail accounts.
On the iOS side, Google is deploying a Material Design 3 update to the Gmail app, aligning it with the Android and redesigned web versions. The refreshed look features pill-shaped navigation buttons at the bottom and a rounded search bar at the top. As part of the broader Gmail mobile updates, these enhancements are now being pushed to Workspace and personal account users alike.
In addition, Google Calendar on iOS has received an important upgrade, allowing users to create and modify birthday events—capabilities that Android users have long enjoyed.

Gemini’s Image Generator Now Integrated in Gmail App
One of the standout features of the Gmail mobile updates is the arrival of Gemini’s AI image generator directly into the Gmail sidebar on both Android and iOS for Workspace accounts. Users can now generate images from prompts within the Gmail app, offering the ability to save, copy, or seamlessly insert the AI-created visuals directly into email drafts.
This move follows Google’s recent integration of Gemini into its broader Workspace suite on the web, further emphasizing its push to blend generative AI into everyday productivity tools.
What’s Next for Gmail Users
With these Gmail mobile updates, Google is continuing its effort to streamline experiences across devices while embedding more AI-powered capabilities for users on the go. Whether it’s a more customizable interface, a refreshed design, or smarter ways to enhance communication with AI, Gmail users across platforms have plenty to look forward to in the weeks ahead.
