Stop Toggling: View Multiple Accounts in One Gmail Inbox on iOS

Google just announced a small but potentially handy update for its Gmail iOS app that lets you view emails from multiple accounts in a single inbox. That means you'll no longer have to toggle between your inboxes to see your messages.

Do you have several different email accounts set up in the Gmail app on your iOS device? Google is making it a little easier to view all your messages at once.

The web giant just announced a small but potentially handy update for its Gmail iOS app that lets you view emails from multiple accounts in a single inbox. That means you'll no longer have to toggle between your inboxes to see your messages.

This feature was already available on the Gmail Android app, and now Google is bringing it to iOS as well. To try it out, just select the "All Inboxes" option from the left-hand side of the app.

"This will show all your emails in a single list, but don't worry—no emails will be shared between your accounts," Google wrote.

This could save you some time, as long as you don't mind viewing your work and personal messages together. If you're one of those people who can't stand to have your peas and carrots touching on your dinner plate, you'll probably hate this option.

Google is rolling this out now and said it should reach all users within 15 days, so if you don't see it right away, just sit tight.

Meanwhile, Google recently added another helpful feature to Gmail for iOS that uses artificial intelligence to notify you about "high-priority" emails only. That feature can help ensure you see important emails in a timely manner without receiving tons of notifications you don't care about.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
