Gmail is jumping on the new iPhones bandwagon with the email app now supporting the new screen resolutions of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Now, the app makes full use of the Retina HD display.

Google includes ‘Insert Photo’ button to mobile version of Gmail

Google wants to help make it easy for you to add photos while using Gmail on your phone with a new “Insert Photo” button. Gmail product manager Thijs van As said in a blog post this is meant to ease the sharing process a bit for mobile users. You can even resize images in Gmail. “When you click the button, you’ll instantly access all the photos that are backed up from your mobile devices starting with the most recent.”

However, it also forces users to use Auto Backup through Google+. This feature is meant to back up your photos and videos directly on the social network.

Gmail mobile version could let you pin or snooze emails

If these new features ever get out of the test version of Gmail for Android, then you might soon be able to snooze unwanted emails or pin important messages to the top of your inbox.

Geek.com also spotted Finance, Travel, and Purchases tabs into the interface. We’re not sure if Google will ever make this feature public but it does make us excited about the possibilities.
