Here’s what you need to know about the new Gmail

Google has announced major improvements to Gmail on the web to help people be more productive at work.

The new updates are already available while some features, according to Google, will be appearing within the coming weeks.

Here’s what is new about Gmail.

Do more without leaving your inbox

Gmail’s new look helps you get more done. Click on attachments—like photos—without opening or scrolling through large conversations, use the new snooze button to put off emails that you just can’t get to right now or easily access other apps you use often, like Google CalendarTasks (now available on Android and iOS) and Keep.

Gmail will also “nudge” you to follow up and respond to messages with quick reminders that appear next to your email messages to help make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Google is also adding Smart Reply to Gmail on the web to help you reply to messages faster.

New features on mobile, like high-priority notifications, can notify you of important messages to help you stay focused without interruption. Plus, Gmail will start suggesting when to unsubscribe from newsletters or offers you no longer care about.

And you might notice new warnings in Gmail that alert you when potentially risky email comes through.

Finally, Gmail now has a new confidential mode allows you to remove the option to forward, copy, download or print messages—useful for when you have to send sensitive information via email. You can also make a message expire after a set period of time to help you stay in control of your information.
