Google apps are treasure troves of tricks ready to be discovered. While we’re regularly uncovering new features through our Authority Insights series, there are some tried and tested gestures and shortcuts we already know and love. One, in particular, saves me so much time throughout the day that I’d be lost without it.

This action has been around for years, but there’s a high chance it remained undiscovered on your device. If that is the case, let me enlighten you.
