Gmail releases visual updates to its compose window after a long delay

• Gmail on the web has picked up new visual improvements to its compose interface.

• In the recipient field, you can now see a recipient's profile avatar and a right-click menu.
• The rollout is scheduled to be completed by the end of September.

The visual updates and improvements to Gmail's recipient field were announced in October. The company has resumed the roll out of the update.

The right-click menu can be used to control how the display name appears. If you're on the Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, or Teaching and Learning upgrade tier, you won't see this option.
