Google is continuously updating the bottom bar in Gmail.

[{"selector":"#anim-e2670891-a81b-4155-969e-3f8a5c128d08","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4fa246f1-6a3f-4a16-9003-8d0732830518","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

Earlier, when you opened the email, the bar at the bottom would disappear.

[{"selector":"#anim-67e1380c-3d86-469d-925e-be0263f394e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec813191-4afc-4e47-8216-4de8775205fd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

And you can enable it from setting to check and uncheck.

[{"selector":"#anim-aac05964-87d1-4c9a-a5c9-7cfdb85f6ae8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40715744-edd0-4382-87fb-31a6b5908653","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

But the default behavior was hiding the bar.

[{"selector":"#anim-91a70270-ac23-42cc-9fee-915cab8b5b47","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60b027ce-16ad-437d-b54a-b1ba5852f141","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

After the email is updated, the bottom bar continues to appear until you scroll down.

[{"selector":"#anim-9776fba2-1ee2-4957-823e-7eb7ae9a21d3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3436444d-02b8-48e3-862f-9e022cda2dc0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

And when you scroll upwards the bar appears immediately.

[{"selector":"#anim-a0ecc201-820a-41ff-b67d-ae94213eb70d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84b454d6-902e-432b-a24d-5aaa89324902","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.18232%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google

And if you toggle this bar, it is always visible whether you go to Inbox, Chats or other tabs.

[{"selector":"#anim-e78a2e79-9b11-4eff-834b-79d142352b73","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5cd33bad-9703-46e3-a4f0-5aa1abe3fd22","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.73481%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google
