Gmail users on Android devices have been alerted to a change in the platform’s notification display that could potentially result in important emails going unnoticed. The Gmail Android app has introduced a minor update that removes the red icon previously used in notifications and replaces it with a color that matches the user’s selected theme.
While this change may seem purely cosmetic, many users have expressed concerns that the new notifications may blend in with other app notifications, making it easier to overlook important messages that are now subtly hidden among the rest.
