Google updated the Gmail app with the Material You design last year, following the release of Android 12. The update allowed the bottom bar to become considerably smaller compared to previous iterations of the app, but now, with the latest server side update, the bottom bar has gotten significantly smaller. Also, the most recent Gmail update, as reported by 9To5Google, eliminates the icon labels from the bottom bar on Android.

Now, Google might improve upon the update and allow for more emails and hence, a more information-rich screen in the future.
