Google has started rolling out the new Gmail. The company's updated messaging service comes with many new features that were initially tested in Inbox, as well as a refreshed design. The updated service has only been available for a few hours, so it's very possible that you won't be able to see the changes yet.
As the company says, the updated look will have to be activated by users themselves through Gmail settings (yes, from the gear icon).
There will be a new option there that will say "Try the new Gmail". At the moment, in our test, the option is not yet displayed, but according to the company, it will appear in the coming days.
Changes to the design and functions of the Gmail service include the addition of control over some applications such as Calendar and Tasks. The update will make checking messages easier and faster, since by simply placing your mouse over the email without opening it, you will be able to see a preview.
The new Gmail will bring the new Snooze feature, which will essentially give the ability to postpone emails.
Along with Snooze, comes “Confidential Mode,” which will allow Gmail users to block forwarding features of certain messages or restrict the ability to copy, download, or print to recipients.
Google with the new feature will allow users of the mail service to require passwords to open some emails, which will be created via SMS. Users of the service will also be able to set an expiration date for sent messages.
Google’s Confidential Mode features are similar to those found in Microsoft’s Outlook app. These features will largely appeal to businesses that want more control over how emails are used by recipients.
Those interested in all of the above, all they have to do is ….be patient. The new Gmail is around the corner…
