Google is making yet another prominent change to Gmail — one that will make it easier to get work done in a hurry.
The search giant announced on Thursday that its Gmail for iOS app will be updated to add several new customizable swipe actions: archive, trash, mark as read, mark as unread, snooze, and move to [a different folder].
The feature is basically an extension of what’s been available for Android since June 2018. Swipe actions, of course, have been available on iOS for a long time, but haven’t been customizable until today. Google says the feature will rollout to all iOS users over the next 15 days — so don’t stress if you don’t see the new feature right away. Read more…

With over 15 million daily active users, Twitch has cemented itself as a pivotal component of the gaming industry, and as a global phenomenon.
When Amazon acquired Twitch for nearly $1 billion back in 2014, it introduced Twitch Prime soon after — a service that would be available to all Amazon Prime members. As a part of the deal, Twitch Prime members would have access to exclusive game loot each month, a free channel subscription every 30 days, and all the additional benefits of Amazon Prime, among other things.
