Worst after an update
"Here are some reasons why I want to revert back to my previous Gmail format:
1. The old Gmail iPhone appearance looks more like what I have on my PC. It functions great. The new format on my iPhone looks entirely different. It has these stupid round pictures on the left of every email that I cannot figure out how to eliminate. These prevent me from recognizing the sender. The round letters make too many email senders look alike, causing me to get them all mixed up because there are so many Js, Ms, Ss. I do not want to have to add a different picture to every stupid round letter. What a waste of my time.
2. All my emails do not appear when I open my email on my iPhone. Only the unread ones, so every single time I look at my iphone gmail I have to request to see everything. This was not the case before. This is inconvenient and quite annoying. How do you mark an email as unread? I am used to keeping all the important emails as unread so they are easy to spot, stay at the top, and dont get pushed down to the bottom.
3. I cannot check off a bunch of emails that I need to delete, and delete them all at once on my iPhone anymore-- I have to open each individual email, one at a time, one at a time, one at a time, and delete this one, and then the next one and the next. There is not a fast way to swipe and delete. There is only a fast way to archive. I never used archive before, and I dont want to start using it now. I cannot locate all the accidentally archived emails, and I do not want them stored somewhere on my phone or in my Gmail. I dont want to archive. I want to delete a lot of emails at once when I am on my phone. I only have access to my home computer once a week. I need to clean up my email daily, not weekly.
4. Everything with the iPhone and Gmail is getting cutesier and cutesier, and that makes it less and less functional. Great if you are a 12 year old and you have nothing to do but sit on your bed, stare at your phone, and play around with it... but an adult who works 70 hours a week, and in addition to that does all the house work, lawn work, cooking, shopping, and errands wants an email that is fast, functional and familiar."
