Three hidden features of Gmail for Android You Should Know

Trevor recently wrote an article on how to restore the missing features in Gmail for Android. In the article, he uses an external application to restore the function of Gmail, but you know that some of the features hidden inside Gmail app and you do not need to use other applications to access them? In this article, I will discuss some of the hidden features of Gmail for Android.

1. Accessing your message canned

When using Gmail from your desktop browser, you may have created a standard message, so you can send the answers quickly and easily. In the Gmail app for Android, there is no "canned messages" option, then you can think that this feature is not available in the application. Well, you're wrong. When you write and record a message in Gmail desktop cans , it is saved as a draft in the Drafts folder and is hidden from your view. In the Gmail app, all you need to do is go to the Drafts folder (press the "Tag" icon and select "Draft") and you can see all your messages cans. All you need to do is open a canned message, highlight and copy all the text. In response to an email (or write e-mails), paste the content you copied from canned messages.  

2. Sync e-mail up to 999 days

This means that if you only check your email once every few months, and you want to remove them all from your Android phone or tablet, you'll see only email up to 30 days. you can easily fix this, go to your Settings app and select your Gmail account e-mail.

Gmail application, go" Settings -.> General Settings "Scroll down the list until you see the" Reply All ". Put a check next. Finish

Scroll down until you see "Auto-fit the message." Put a check next. that this option will do is to automatically resize to fit the screen of your message, and you can pinch to zoom in / out message.
