Overview
- Compact alerts now show a paperclip and a pill-shaped label that identifies attachment types such as images or PDFs.
- Expanding some notifications can display a small thumbnail of the attached file, though the preview is not appearing for everyone yet.
- When an attachment is detected, the preview can take the place of the email body excerpt, requiring users to open the message to read text.
- The change is rolling out slowly on Android and has not been formally announced by Google.
- The behavior was first highlighted by 9to5Google and corroborated by Droid Life and Android Central after sightings since late last week.
