If you’re a Gmail for Android user, you’ll be interested to know that the app has been updated with a really useful improvement. Change makes it easier to organize recipients of the message Something that comes in handy when we make the wrong field when typing addresses when adding addresses to the ‘To’, ‘Cc’ or ‘Bcc’ field.

Until now, when you typed a person’s address in the wrong field, you had to delete it and retype it in the correct field, which was a waste of time. As Google stated, it will be enough from now on drag and drop addresses from our contacts in the address fields.

Update now available for personal Google account users

If the feature we’re talking about sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because it’s been available in the web version of Gmail for a long time. Nevertheless, It was not available in the Android appA situation that the company has resolved thanks to the latest update.

As we can see in the gif that Google published alongside the announcement, the operation of the new feature is quite simple: Instead of deleting and rewriting the recipient’s address, now we can drag the person to the corresponding field.

To try it, open the Gmail app for Android and click the button to write a new email. After you enter a person’s name the app should let you move the person from one area to another by pressing and holding your finger on the contact and dragging it to the relevant location.

The company confirmed that this feature is already available open to all users It’s not just for Google Workspace and Google Workspace Individual subscribers, which is a real plus point. If you haven’t received the update yet, we recommend you try again in a few days.

At this point, it is worth noting that this is not the only change that the Gmail application for Android has received recently. At the end of last September, the app was updated with the arrival of Gemini smart replies, an innovation that promises to save us a significant amount of time when responding to emails.
