Believe it or not, but Gmail has now been with us for 15 years. It was first announced on April 1, 2004. Now Google is celebrating a decade-and-a-half of existence and has added some new and improved features.

The biggest update is email scheduling. This is one of the much-awaited features. In the Gmail app, you can find this option on the three vertical dot menu when composing a new email or drafted email. Inside that, you will find an option named “Schedule Send”.

Here you will find several suggested times or you can customize your own sending time. After choosing an option your email will be scheduled and will be sent in the fixed time.

Schedule emails in Gmail

In the web version, you will find the same option next to the Send button. Click the little down arrow to the right of the Send button. Then select Schedule Send and now you will see the “Schedule send” option. Then specify the date and schedule the email. You can cancel the schedule email any time if you want before it’s sent.

Google said in a blog post that, “We understand that work can often carry over to non-business hours, but it’s important to be considerate of everyone’s downtime. We want to make it easier to respect everyone’s digital well-being, so we’re adding a new feature to Gmail that allows you to choose when an email should be sent”.

Previously, one can schedule the emails by using a third-party extension. But, now it is natively available inside of the Gmail app and web version

This feature is helpful if you’re working across time zones, or don’t want to interrupt someone in the weekend.

Another feature is the Smart Compose. Google has rolled out a writing suggestion before. Now it is much smarter with AI-powered personalization.

Smart Compose remembers your style of writing like greeting certain colleagues (eg “Hey Team”). Smart Compose will now also suggest subject lines based on the body of your email. This feature will be available on Android devices and coming to iOS devices soon.

Google is crafting its one of the successful business and making it better each day. Google has not confirmed that when all these features will roll out. Just be patient if you don’t see it yet. It will be available soon.

What are the new features in this Gmail update?

Schedule Send and Smart Compose are the two new features in this Gmail update.

Google is celebrating the safer internet day by spreading some awareness. Meanwhile the tech giant has launched a new Chrome extension called Password Checkup. It will become in your browser and help protect your account from third-party data breaches.

This new tool has the intention to keep your data secure beyond Google’s own sites and applications. The Password Checkup tool will detect and warn whether your username and password combination is unsafe for use online.

Password Checkup

 

You may remember that 4 billion credentials that have been compromised recently. Google will confirm that your credentials are among them or not. If it happens the extension will trigger an automatic warning and suggest you change your password. The tool works very similarly to the way Google secures accounts on its own platforms. Google said that “For example, we already automatically reset the password on your Google Account if it may have been exposed in a third-party data breach”.

Note that the extension is very secure. No one, even Google, can scan your account credentials. It uses the privacy-protecting techniques developed with the help of both Google and Stanford University and cryptography researchers.

Google has also released a new feature called Cross Account Protection. With this Google will tell apps and websites that have implemented the login option that an account was hijacked.
