Google has once again released a very useful update for its Gmail users, making email management even easier. This new update is available for both Android and iOS users. The biggest advantage of this update is that now users can do ‘Mark as Read’ directly from notifications any email. In simple words, now you will not have to open the Gmail app to show you an email. This feature can prove to be a game changer for those who are troubled by a lot of emails coming in their inboxes and want to mark them without opening them.
Till now only two quick options were found in Gmail notifications on Android – ‘Delete’ or ‘Reply’. This facility was largely limited, because many times the users neither wanted to delete the email nor wanted to reply immediately, but only wanted to marry it so that their inboxes look clear. After this new update, Google has solved this problem and added another useful option. The company has said that this feature is gradually being rolled out for all users and it will reach everyone in the coming few weeks.
This new option will give special advantage to those who want to always keep their inbox clean and organized. Many times we have emails with promotional or information that we need, but they do not have time to read. In such a situation, it is not right to delete them and leave them without teaching make the inbox look disorganized. Now you can do ‘Mark as Read’ from notification to such emails, so that your inbox will be organized and you will be able to focus on your essential emails.
This new feature is also very useful for those professional people who get hundreds of emails daily. They can marry their emails quickly and can only open emails that require immediate action.
Apart from ‘Mark as Read’, Google has made another significant change in this update. Now Gmail users will also see the profile photo of the sender of the email in the notification itself. This feature will help users to identify the email sender quickly, making it easier to decide whether to open the email or not. This is especially useful when you have many emails at the same time and you want to know which email has sent. With profile photo, you can immediately identify that email comes from your boss, colleague, friend or any marketing company.
Gmail is constantly working to improve its users’ experience. Recently, Gmail has also added shopping facilities. Now a special ‘purchase’ section is also found in the app, in which all the emails related to the order are seen in one place. It is very helpful for those who do online shopping and want to track the status of their orders. Earlier, information related to order was scattered in different folders, but now it is all available at one place.
Overall, this new update of Gmail is a major step for users. Gmail is further strengthening its position as a powerful and user-friendly email service from features like ‘Mark as Read’ option, profile photo appearance and ‘purchase’ section. This will definitely make the way of email management of millions of users simple and efficient.
