New Gmail Adds Category Tabs to Tame Inboxes

Google will once again attempt to tame the inboxes of users across the world. This time it’ll attempt to do so with a newly revamped user interface for the company’s Gmail on iOS, Android and web versions.
The changes, which were announced earlier today on the company’s Official Gmail Blog, will seek to address the clutter of email with an updated inbox by dividing and categorizes the email of users based on the common types of email users receive.
For example, emails sent to users by social networks would surface in the “Social Updates” category of the user’s inbox, while offers and promotions sent to users by retailers would end up in a new “Promotions” category of their Inbox.  Users will be able to choose the categories they want.
