Smartphone users with more than one Gmail account got a boost from
Google, which rolled out this week a new multiple sign-in feature for
Gmail for mobile.
Mobile software engineer Dominic Leung said the new features for Gmail
in the mobile browser aim to make Gmail users more productive while on
the go.
“Just like on your desktop, you can now to sign into multiple accounts
simultaneously. To sign into an additional account, click on the account
switcher at the bottom of the threadlist, then click ‘Sign into an
another account.’ You can quickly switch between accounts by selecting
the desired account from the Accounts menu," Leung said in a blog post.
Another new feature is a mobile-specific signature that will let friends
know a Gmail user is responding via mobile phone – so they will
understand why a message is short or contains typos.
Leung also said the new Gmail for mobile has a vacation auto-responder,
just in case one has forgotten to set his or her out-of-office
auto-reply before going on a trip.
On the other hand, Leung said Gmail’s multiple sign-in support has
updated URLs so that each account can have a separate bookmark.
A separate article on The Next Web noted support for multiple accounts has been around in Gmail for desktop computers. — TJD, GMA News
