Google today started rolling out the v4.8 update for the Gmail app for Android that brings with it a number of new goodies including some minor UI enhancements and the ability to save your attachments directly to Google Drive.

The Hamburger menu now houses the Settings and Help options, just like other Google apps.

If you use multiple Gmail accounts, the app will also show your profile picture in the hamburger menu along with a small check mark against the currently active account.

Below is the full change-log of the update from Google:

Save to Google Drive

Instead of downloading attachments to your device which takes up valuable space, you can now save attachments directly to Google Drive. Files saved to Drive are easily accessible from any smartphone, tablet or computer.

Spam explanations

Have you ever wondered why a message ended up in spam? You’ll now find an explanation at the top of every spam message.

Improved RTL support

If you’re an English speaker, you’re used to reading sentences from left-to-right. But there are a lot of languages out there that are written from right-to-left (RTL), such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. If you’re a speaker of one of these languages, Gmail on Android now looks and feels the way you’d expect with profile pictures and the navigation menu on the right instead of the left.

Faster access to the side navigation menu

It’s easier to get wherever you need to go in the app. While reading messages, you can now swipe from the left edge (or right edge for RTL languages) to quickly access your accounts and labels. You’ll also find Settings, Help, and Feedback in the side menu.

The change-log does not mention anything else, but if you find any other changes, drop in a comment and do let us know. You can download the APK of the update from here or wait for it to be automatically pushed to you via the Play Store.
