Now thanks to the Gmail summary cardswe can have at the top of the inbox, the information that interests us that is related, for example, to purchases, events or trips.

These summary cards at the top of the email are compatible with the Gmail for Android and also for iOS.

The Mountain Views have announced that they are going to make improvements to the Gmail summary cards, specifically they have updated the user interface of these cards that now show new action buttons.

In addition to the information previously displayed, they have now included action buttons such as “get directions”, “invite others”, “follow a package”, “sign up”, “remember me” or “mark as paid”.

All of these new Gmail summary cards are dynamic, i.e. They are updated in real time while information related to them is received..
