Did you know you can customise swipe gestures in Gmail's Android and iOS-based apps. Here's a step-by-step guide for the same.

Gmail is the go-to emailing app for a lot of smartphone users. It's easy to use and it works well on almost any interface, be it Android or iOS. What adds to its overall allure is the fact that it has tons of features that let you work with ease without having to switch within apps over and over again. For instance, it comes with built-in Meet and Spaces features, which means that you don't have to download these apps separately on your smartphone to use them.
