Gmail Update Brings Left-Aligned Navigation Bar to Android Tablets
A recent update to the Gmail app has introduced a left-aligned navigation rail for Android tablets, bringing it in line with the design seen on foldable Android phones.
Previously, Android tablets displayed up to four tabs at the bottom of the screen when opening the Gmail app. However, the latest design update now aligns these tabs vertically on the left edge, similar to the layout on foldable smartphones such as the Pixel Fold.

With the new vertical arrangement, the tabs displayed from the top include ‘メニュー’, ‘新規作成’, ‘メール’, ‘チャット’, ‘スペース’, ‘Meet’. Unlike the previous bottom placement, these tabs remain visible even when scrolling through the screen.
While there are no other significant changes, this update brings the Gmail app in line with other Google apps, ensuring a consistent navigation experience for users.
The new Gmail app navigation bar for Android tablets has been introduced in version 2023.11.12.x. However, due to server side effects, the new layout may not immediately appear even after updating the app. Users are advised to wait for the changes to take effect if the bottom menu layout persists.
