Same as thread : I can't open mail on gmail.

[Android Central Question]

Android 4.1.2 on Samsung Galaxy S3. Latest update renders gmail unusable : the star has moved left and overwrites the mail lines. The messsage can't be selected for any action except displacements. I have uninstalled the updates and moved back to factory settings. Works fine in this way.
Why the app designers do not inquire about the Android version before proceeding to the update ?

That is an old OS. Unfortunately some of the latest app updates are no longer compatible with OS of this vintage. Some call it progress, others would say it's to encourage you to update for a variety of reasons including security. .on the other hand, maybe it's a way of emptying your wallet.:-\
