Google has been offering its GO variants for most of its popular apps. We have a Youtube Go with us which most of us I am sure of. But do you know that we will now have ourselves a Gmail Go as well? Google made its new app available on Play Store for users to download and it did so without any prior information or notice.
But the recent report which came today claims that Google Go is no longer available on the play store as the Android maker had previously uploaded the app by accident.
The authorities were quick enough to correct their error and it seems that the new app is no longer available for non-Android Go devices.
The non-android go devices now get the warning that their device stating that their device is not compatible with this version.
The difference we found is that the app icon on the google go has a red “go” badge at the bottom. The app, however, is visually identical to its normal counter-part which is available for ages.
It’s worth noting that the Google Meet has not been integrated into the Google Meet as it is in the normal Gmail app. No layering is provided in the Gmail Go, and it also has no shadow. Instead, the Gmail Go uses a white outline for its search field, and an elongated compose FAB, that will shrink into a circle as the users scroll.
The new Gmail Go has been presumably optimized for the performance of the devices with a limited processor and RAM.
The list of Go family apps available on the play store includes Google Go, Gallery Go, Google Maps Go, and Navigation Go. Along with Assistant Go and YouTube Go though these two are only supported for limited devices.
The inclusion of Gmail Go was not a necessary update. However, it is good to see google offering choices for its users.
