Google seems to have just announced the new Gmail. ICYMI I am an avid user. So, I went ahead and started trying out what’s new.

How to Get New Gmail? π§#
Well, that’s pretty simple. Log in to your Gmail account, and click that gear β icon at the top right corner. Then click the Try New Gmail link in there :)
What’s New and the New Gmail? π₯#
That’s the burning questions, isn’t it? Well, I for one found many new things in there but here’s a summary of a few new features you might wanna read about β and use of course.
π Fresh new UI β now you do a lot more without clicking a hundred times.β² Snooze feature that used to be in the mobile app is here on the web.
π« Expiring emails Send an email that expires after a set date. Confidential!
π Google’s “Nudge” will now “nudge” you to follow up and respond.
π Smart Reply’s has saved me time on mobile now on the web now as well.
π¨ Only high-priority notification will get through to you on mobile. FTW!
π€ Keep, Calendar, Tasks, and third part apps integrations are so much fun.
After 24 Hours of Using New Gmail? π#
It’s been almost 24 hours since I have been trying out the new Gmail and I am pretty impressed. While the new UI is a bit clunky, unfinished, and odd β I know it’ll take me some time to get used to it.
But, I’m definitely enjoying the speed of it all. Also, I use Google Keep and Calendar. Having it integrated so deeply with Gmail is going to make my life so much easier. That’s a welcomed change.
In short, I’m all too excited. What about you?!
Here’re a couple of images for the new and mighty Gmail.
Peace! β
