We’re not sure how this managed to slip by the Inbox team the first couple of updates, but given that Android Wear is kind of a big thing for Google, it only makes sense that their app should play well with their new wearable OS. Well, now it finally does.
In a new update hitting the Google Play Store, Inbox by Gmail now fully supports your Android Wear devices, and just like that, has become my default email app once again.
While technically all Android notifications support Android Wear devices, they wont display properly or give you a complete set of actions on your wearable. With the latest update, you can now read entire email messages, mark as “done” or reply with a voice message.
Tablet users will also find an “improved” tablet experience, while everyone gets to enjoy suggestions that appear as you type out a Reminder. You’ll find the update waiting for you right now in the Google Play Store.
So am I the only person that sent in a request and never got a response?
Sent you an invite :)
Appreciate it sir!
Damn it, I knew I should have signed up for Inbox.
Invite sent.
Thanks Chris! Much appreciated.
It looks amazing.
Can I get an invite please??
I can reply to emails from my Asus ZenWatch using the Gmail app, what would Inbox bring to the table that I don’t have already?
I’ve just downloaded the APK and it works without a problem even if I didn’t request an invite.
Am I the only person who’s noticed an error with the picture?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH that’s if the battery lasts long enough. For a watch that was supposed to be moderately used, they sure have introduced enough battery killing features to make me HATE this watch.
The only place that over-simplified Inbox belongs is on a smartwatch.
