The past year for Yahoo! has been pretty rough. When the news first came that the company was going to be taken over by Verizon, people were unsure whether or not this was a good move for users or not. Then, a few months later, news of a major Yahoo! hack came out, quickly lowering the company’s value and putting Verizon’s interest in question. Since then, there have been allegations of a state-sponsored hack, and the company even made plans to change its name after the Verizon acquisition in an attempt to save face. Clearly, being on the Yahoo! team over the past year has been a bit of a struggle, and the company’s user base has undoubtedly dropped.
Despite all of these problems, Yahoo! is trying to bring interest back to its offering once again. Anyone who still uses a Yahoo! email address (myself included) has likely gotten a pop-up or two on their phone over the years about downloading the Yahoo! Mail mobile app. If you’re anything like me, you ignore these pop-ups because it’s much easier to just use the Mail app that comes with your phone. That way, all your emails are conveniently in one place. I’m guessing that when it comes to the Yahoo! Mail app, the majority of people have the same opinion as me, which is why the company is working to make it more appealing to users.
Thanks to some new updates, the app will do much more than simply deliver your mail; it will also sync your phone’s photos to your desktop and help you identify phone numbers with a new Caller ID feature. The Caller ID feature could actually be pretty helpful—it works by cross referencing incoming phone calls with the telephone numbers found in your email inbox. According to Yahoo!, most people have hundreds of phone numbers in their inboxes thanks to email signatures and other references. With the new update, the Yahoo! Mail app will quickly go through your emails, and then display the caller’s name if possible.
