You can now swipe between accounts in Gmail and new signs of a dark mode, too

Gmail update - Gmail app on a Google Pixel 3 smartphone

In the latest Gmail update (v2019.08.18), a new swipeable account switching gesture is active (via Android Police). All you need to do is swipe up or down on your user avatar in the top right corner of the Gmail app interface. This will switch accounts quickly.

You can still tap on your user avatar to see a list of your accounts and then tap on the one you want to switch to, but the swiping gesture is obviously a lot faster.

In addition to this new swipe gesture, the latest Gmail update also shows some hints of the expected dark mode. If you're using Gmail on a beta version of Android 10 and have the system-wide dark mode enabled, the Gmail widget will have a dark theme. Additionally, the splash screen when you start the Gmail app will also be dark — but the app itself will stay white. At least some progress is happening on that front!

The latest Gmail update is rolling out now but it could be a few days before you see it. You can download Gmail for Android via the link below, or search for it in the Play Store.
