Users running Google’s Gmail service on iPhone, Android and Blackberry smartphones can now “undo” certain actions when they make mistakes. Google software engineer Bryan Logan said that the new feature should save smartphone users precious seconds in correcting mistakes they make while using Gmail. Now when you use the Gmail mobile web app, you’ll have a small window of opportunity to undo four key actions: archive, delete, add or remove a label, or move a message/conversation. When you take one of these actions, Gmail displays a yellow bar that recaps what you just did and allows you to undo it: This bar stays in position even if you move to another screen (e.g. moving to ‘Menu’ from ‘Inbox’). If you don’t happen to catch your mistake in time, not to worry: all four actions can still be undone through other means (e.g. you can move a message from Trash back into your Inbox). Try it out at gmail.com in the browser of your Android or iOS device. Update: 9:09am Pacific time 4/19/11 – This update is available for phones running Android or iOS, but not tablet devices with the two-pane Gmail UI. It is also now available for BlackBerry OS 6.0 phones. Gmail mobile web app users will now have a chance to undo four key actions: archive, delete, add or remove a label, or move a message/conversation. Users who do any of the four actions will find a yellow bar that recaps what they just did and allows them to undo it. “This bar stays in position even if you move to another screen (e.g. moving to ‘Menu’ from ‘Inbox’).
