the Gmail interface update that happened last year
Are you talking about the Inbox deprecation?
No, the one described in https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/12/17227974/google-gmail-design-features-update-2018-redesign that came in April 2018
That’s not talking about a UI refresh, but about Gmail adding new features:
Introduction of snooze
Introduction of smart reply
Offering attachment links in the message list view
Collapsable sidebar
Is that what you’re talking about or am I still looking at the wrong thing?
That rollout of new features also included a UI refresh making it look “cleaner.”
See https://www.cultofmac.com/544433/how-to-switch-on-new-gmail-redesign/, this HN post, and https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/25/17277360/gmail-redesign-live-features-google-update which says “The new look, which exhibits a lot of softer forms and pill-shaped buttons, will have to prove itself over time”
