Gmail

Email for everyday correspondence

Gmail is Google’s email app for reading, sending and organising messages on an Android phone. It suits people who want to keep up with personal or work email, find an older conversation, and deal with routine messages without opening a separate tool for every task.

Find and sort messages

Search is a practical way to return to a message when you remember a name or subject but not where it sits in the inbox. Gmail also helps separate unwanted mail from ordinary correspondence, and lets you archive messages to clear them from the inbox without treating them as something you need to answer now. These are small conveniences, but they make a difference when email has accumulated over time.

More than one inbox

The app can bring together multiple email accounts, including accounts from other providers, so you can check them in one place. Gmail also connects with Google services such as Calendar, Chat and Meet. That may be useful if those tools are already part of your routine; if not, the app can still serve as a straightforward place to handle email.

A familiar, widely used choice

Gmail is developed by Google LLC and listed in Communication. Its rating is 4.1 out of 5, based on more than 14 million ratings, and its install count is listed as 10 billion or more. Those numbers point to an established app, though they do not guarantee that its mix of email and connected services will suit everyone. For people who want a capable inbox that can mostly stay in the background, Gmail covers the everyday basics and lets them get on with the rest of the day.
