Gmail turns 15 years old today. But that’s not the cool part.
Google announced that effective today, Gmail users can now schedule their emails as the company also improves it Smart Compose features.
Smart Compose, which tries to autocomplete your emails as you type them, will now be able to adapt to the way you write your greetings in your emails.
The feature can also suggest a subject based on the content of the email.
Google says that the feature is now available on Android devices. It was previously available only on Pixel 3 with support for iOS coming soon.
Smart Compose is now available in Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.
Along with Smart Compose is the ability to schedule your email. The Send button now becomes a drop-down menu in which users can determine when their emails should arrive in the recipient’s inbox.
Jacob Bank, Director of Product Management, G-Suit says it is important to be considerate to everyone’s downtime, hence the addition.
“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,” he said.
Last week, Google added Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) to Gmail which lets users visit websites right in their inbox instead of opening another link.
And tomorrow, April 2, Google will shut down its social media platform, Google+.
The company announced two weeks ago that the journey to shut down Google+ had begun and urged users to archive their materials as they would be deleted if not archived.
