The Gmail app comes pre-installed on the best Android phones (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-phones-568001/) you can buy. Gmail is also used by over 1.8 billion people — roughly 20% of the world’s population. Given the number of people who use the service, its pre-installation state on Android, all the fancy AI features in Gmail (https://www.androidauthority.com/gmail-ai-features-3477303/), and the fact that Google owns both it and Android, one would assume that Gmail on Android would be the best email experience you can get, right? However, I would argue it’s just OK. Well, at least that’s what I thought for a long time, anyway.
In the past, I had found the Gmail app’s features anemic when compared to the other best email apps for Android (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-email-apps-579368/). I used Blue Mail for a really long time and recently switched to Outlook, which is actually pretty terrific. In September, though, I got a shiny new Google Pixel 9 Pro (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-9-3365966/), which meant I needed to set up my phone all over again. While I was doing that, I said to myself, “Hey, I haven’t used the Gmail app in a while. I wonder if it’s gotten better than I remember it?”
