Confidential Mode

This is one of the most interesting features in Gmail. It allows you to add an expiration date to your emails. The confidential mode maintains the privacy of the information you send over Gmail. This will prevent the email from being forwarded, copied, printed, or downloaded. You can also set an expiry date which makes the email delete automatically after a certain amount of time.

Undo Emails

We have all come across a situation where the email sent had few errors but couldn’t undo them. Well, Gmail comes to the rescue with its new feature of un-sending those wrongly intended emails. To use this feature, you will need to enable it on your Gmail. You can also choose how long you want the cancellation period: 5,10,20, or 30 seconds. Once the feature is enabled in your account, Gmail will notify you of undelivered along with the message “Your message has been sent”

Quick Settings Menu

Gmail has introduced a new “quick settings menu”, that allows users to browse, discover, and use different theme settings to customise their Gmail experience.

Smart Compose

Smart Compose feature predicts what you are going to type and lets you insert predicted words. This feature gives you generic suggestions by default or you can also allow Google to keep track of your writing style and offer personalised suggestions.

Clickable attachments
