Fully featured GMail now available on Windows Phone 8 1 Update 1 IE
Fully featured GMail now available on Windows Phone 8 1 Update 1 IE
An official app isnt yet released for Windows Phone for Gmail yet (third party apps like MetroMail do a wonderful job nevertheless), and Google didnt bat an eye towards Windows Phone. It showed its ignorance by giving just the basic Gmail to Windows Phone. But in 8.1 Update 1, IE handles webpages differently. It renders as Chrome or Safari. So, all websites that you now see on Internet Explorer will look like how it would on Google chrome or iOS safari.
So, on the upside, you can now access a full featured Gmail.
But on the downside, some websites that detect the browser and give suggestions now think that you are on Safari or Chrome.
All in all, a better browser support and better webpage rendering on Windows Phone on the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1.
