When using Gmail on an Android device, do you find it difficult to copy and paste email addresses? A new update makes it much simpler to select an address from the available fields when creating a new email, so hopefully, those days are behind us.
Android Police Was the First to Notice the Shift, Which Could Speed up The Time It Takes to Collect Contact Details
When you open an email and hit the menu button, you can see a more detailed contact card, delete the contact, or copy the message. In the past, doing so would reveal a tiny pop-up box with options to “Copy” or “Cancel,” but now, the original window remains visible.
If you’re using an Android device, this new pop-up menu will make it much simpler to copy and paste an email address into a variety of fields or anywhere besides Gmail. Multiple of our own accounts have seen it, but as AP points out, it doesn’t seem to be active everywhere just yet. That’s a very strong suggestion that you’ll have to wait till Google implements the update system-wide before you can use the option. What it actually looks like is seen down below:
We have spotted this new feature on smartphones running Gmail for Android v2021.02.05.357775197, but it could be part of a larger A/B user interface test. However, you may still be unable to open the streamlined copy/paste toolbar after updating to the newest version. Drop a comment below letting us know if your version of Gmail for Android includes a floating copy/paste menu.
Crucial Information
As a new addition to the Gmail for Android app, Google has included a handy new function.
More convenient copy/paste controls for email addresses have been added to Gmail for Android.
A server-side upgrade brings the new functionality to Gmail users.
Copying and pasting email addresses are now much simpler on the Gmail Android app. Adding “Copy” and “Remove” buttons to one of its finest Android apps was observed by the folks at Android Police.
A pop-up window containing the addressee’s name and the two new buttons will appear when you long-press on an email address in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields. Pressing the copy button will save the email address to your clipboard, where you can then paste it into another application. The newly added remove option, meanwhile, deletes the currently highlighted email address. To copy an email address in the past, one would have to pick the address, long-press on it, and then hit the Copy button.
