A small redesign for Gmail on Android improves the readability of each overflow menu by adding icons and more thematic organization. It makes for nice quality-of-life improvements.
Google has added icons for each item in every overflow menu, while also inserting line separators to create new sections. This results in the long menus feeling less like a wall of text, while making it easier to find what you’re looking for. The Gmail website was similarly updated with icons in October of 2023.
In emails, there are a pair of three-dot menus, starting with the one for the entire conversation in the top-right corner. Gmail has grouped together Move to, Move to Inbox, Change labels, and Mark important. Snooze goes from being the second item to the fifth alongside Add to Tasks, which gets elevated from the bottom.
Then there’s Mute, Print all, View in light theme, and Help & feedback, with Report spam getting red text in the final section.
The other menu for each message maintains the same order, while adding Report spam.
In your inbox, the overflow menu available after selecting an email groups together Move to, Add star, Change labels, and Mark (not) important, while Snooze and Mute are paired. Spam reporting also appears at the end.
We’re seeing this menu redesign with version 2025.01.25.721794537 of Gmail for Android, which widely rolled out via the Play Store today. Force stop the app after updating if you’re not seeing the changes.
