Google is finally updating its Inbox messaging app for the iPhone X

After about nine months since Apple's full-screen iPhone X arrived on the market, Google has finally updated its Inbox messaging app to support the device. In a 144MB update deployed on the App Store today, Google claims that Inbox now supports the most expensive iPhone variant of Apple, with little to say. other changes in the update text.

Indeed, this update simply removes the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen so that they fit more naturally to the iPhone screen X, with its 19.5: 9 funky format. For months, users have been complaining about lack of support, and Google has acknowledged that he was working there in April after redesigning Gmail.

This is not just about Google listening to users who have been calling for end-to-end support for Inbox for months. It is likely that the company is following Apple's new iOS 11 standard, effective this month, that "all iOS application updates must be built with the iOS 11 SDK." and must support the Super Retina display of the iPhone X. "Again, it's nice to see the iOS version of Inbox get the love it deserves, even if its key features still missing as a view "all inboxes", which he has on Android.
