Google has announced<\/a><\/strong> a trio of updates to its iOS apps and widgets, which the company says will help improve productivity for iOS users.<\/p>\n

The updates include changes to Google Sheets, Google Meet, and most notably, the addition of a Gmail widget similar to that currently available on Android.<\/p>\n

The new Gmail widget will show the user’s inbox with the three most recent emails, noting the sender and subject of each.<\/p>\n

According to 9to5Google<\/a><\/strong>, a Gmail widget was previously available on iOS, but Google had removed it over the past year.<\/p>\n

The Alphabet Inc-owned company has also introduced picture-in-picture to Google Meet in iOS, meaning that iOS users can still participate in meetings while multitasking on their devices.<\/p>\n

“Simply navigate out of the Google Meet app, and your meeting will be minimised in a window that you can move around your Home Screen,” Google said.<\/p>\n

The update will also introduce support for shortcuts to Google Sheets on iOS devices, which will allow users to quickly perform several tasks, including “selecting a whole row or finding and replacing certain values”.<\/p>\n

Google says the iOS updates for its productivity apps will be available in the “next few weeks”.<\/p>\n
