Android Police has got hold of the upcoming Gmail for Android app version 4.2. Looks like this would be a major update from the existing version of the Gmail for Android version 4.1.2. The upcoming Gmail for Android update is expected to bring the most expected pinch-to-zoom feature and a new swipe to archive or delete feature to quickly delete or archive a mail from you inbox or sent. You can also disable this feature from the settings, or make it to only delete when you swipe or archive and delete. It also removes the labels when you’re in a label-only view.
They say that the apk is not from one of the leaked LG Nexus devices. Android Police managed to install it on a Galaxy Nexus running on Android 4.1, so it is clear that it doesn’t require Android 4.2. They didn’t share a APK of the Gmail app yet, but according to them the APK might only work on a rooted device running on Android 4.0 and later.
Check out their video below that shows off these new features.
