Gmail Flexible Email Support for iOS Applications

I am fixated on expanding the gmail app for iOS to support email responses. It seems that the Android version does not support it: Responsive emails in the Gmail application (Android)

But what about the gmail app for iOS?

I tested the behavior with default templates that come directly from the campaign monitor, and the application only displays the web version.

The Gmail app seems to remove all css from the header (just like the browser version does). Therefore, it does not support flexible media queries based on newsletters.

No version of Gmail supports the <style> , creating media queries that cannot be built into Gmail inefficiently.

If you need something more consistent between customers, most people come with a liquid layout. However, this pretty much limits you to the design of individual columns. You can set the multimedia request to the maximum width so that it looks like a regular 600px mailbox in Outlook, but resizes for all devices smaller than 600 pixels.

Hope this helps.

Others (correctly) stated that Gmail is displaying <style> tags. This is true for the Gmail app on Android and iOS, I suppose.

However, it looks like the mailbox app for Android is not - and this is what I pointed out the URL about.

Side note: they don’t mention this, but I'm sure you can put media = "all" in the <style> tag and get the same results (as opposed to using <link> or placing @media inside <style>).

Greetings.
