"Google has released an update for its iOS 7 Gmail app that uses the operating system&amp;#039;s background app refresh feature. The move means that iPhone users will no longer have to manually refresh the app for the latest emails, bringing it more in line with the Android version.   Emails will now be automatically retrieved, even when the app is closed. To enable automatic refreshing with the update, users must have it turned on in the iOS system settings and activate Gmail notifications. &amp;quot;The app now fully supports background app refresh, which means your Gmail messages will be pre-fetched and synced so they&amp;#039;re right there when you open the app,&amp;quot; Google&amp;#039;s software engineer Melissa Dominguez said. &amp;quot;No more annoying pauses while you wait for your inbox to refresh.&amp;quot; Elsewhere, Google has also introduced added support for single sign-in across its apps, meaning users can quickly access services such as Google Drive without the need to sign-in again.
