For those of us who have truly mastered the email game, a new update to Gmail has promised a reward in the form of a new "zero inbox" greeting icon.
The updated graphic of Gmail, spotted by Android Police, replaces the previous image, which under the congratulatory message "You're done! Nothing in elementary school" showed an abstract caricature of a smiling woman lying face down without a care in the world (working), reading a book in the countryside under bright sunshine, suggesting an air of calm and peace for those lucky enough to empty their inboxes.
Clearly, this isn't a Covid-friendly take on the new hybrid workplace for Google, which has now updated the picture with something a little less outdoorsy.
As seen above, shown in dark mode on a mobile device, our happy-go-lucky friend has been replaced by a selection of empty colorful boxes (inboxes?) seen at the end of each level in Super Mario Bros).
The congratulatory message remains, but it's a much colder and more sterile feeling to achieve the goal of clearing all your work tasks for the day.
gmail inbox zero
Inbox zero may be just a pipe dream for many of us, especially with a business account, but Google clearly sees it as something worth celebrating.
Recent research from TechRadar Pro and OnePulse revealed that more than three-quarters of email users (75,6%) have between one and 10 emails in their inbox, followed by 000% with between 16,75 and 10, and only 001% have more than 100. o Suite. More than half of users (000%) said they don't know or care how full their inbox is. The rest have up to 7,59 GB full (100%) or more than 001 GB (50,2%).
Gmail has proven to be the most popular email platform, a finding backed up by recent figures from Google itself, which claimed in January 2022 that Gmail for Android had surpassed 10 billion installs on the Google Play store.
