Gmail 3.0 for iOS brings support for Background app refresh

Google today updated the Gmail for iOS app to version 3.0 with a couple of new features, support for iOS 7’s Background App Refresh, and a single sign-in system. Here are the release notes: Background app refresh: Gmail now fetches your mail even when it is not open so it will be waiting for you when you open the app. Requires iOS 7 and at least one type of notification (badge, alert, or banner) to be turned on. Simplified sign-in: Signing into Google Apps such as Gmail, Maps, Drive and Chrome just got easier. Sign in to one, and you’ll be signed in to all automatically. Previously, Gmail took some time to refresh your inbox with new mails, but now the wait shouldn’t be as much. Google notes that after updating the app, you might need to sign-in to Gmail again, but if you’re already signed in to YouTube, AdSense or other Google apps, this is just a matter of tapping a button. If the app hasn’t been automatically updated, you can download the update via the Updates tab in the App Store app or use the iTunes link below.
