Other rad features to help you streamline your inbox and the number of notifications it sends you include high-priority notifications, which, according to USA TODAY, is a feature where you'll only be notified of important messages. TechCrunch pointed out that the updated version will also have a 'nudging' feature, where artificial intelligence (AI) will 'figure out that a message is probably important to you and it to remind you to follow up or reply.' Bless. If you're one of those people who's constantly losing emails in that 'to reply to' label, though, Gmail's rollout is also offering another solution for you. TechCrunch did note that you can only snooze an email when it's sitting in your inbox - 'here's no way to get to it when you're actually reading an email,' so for those of you who click into emails, then mark them as unread when you decide you don't want to deal with them ATM, you'll have to figure out a new habit. It's also ideal if having something in your inbox means having it sitting in the back of your brain, and you want some breathing room before tackling a particular email, without having to worry about whether it'll get lost in the depths of your 'to reply to' label. For folks who tend to get a lot of emails on Mondays or Fridays and would prefer to deal with them throughout the week, snooze is ideal. Yes, that means an email you snooze will simply pop back up in your inbox when you want it to, as though it's a fresh email. 'When you try to snooze an email, Gmail gives you the option to resurface it later in the day, tomorrow, later this week, on the weekend or next week,' TechCrunch explained.

But when the update arrives in your account, you'll also see a snooze option.

According to TechCrunch, now when you hover over an email (without clicking into it!), you'll see the usual bevy of options, including archive, delete, and mark as read. Either that, or you let emails you mean to reply to pile up in your inbox, and then inbox zero becomes but a distant memory.

If you have a high-traffic email account, you probably already make use of Gmail's labeling and sorting features, and you probably have a 'get to it later' folder for all the emails you mean to reply to. Snooze is, to put it completely non-dramatically, a freaking godsend for people who have busy inboxes.

So, here's the lowdown on the Gmail snooze feature and what exactly you'll be able to do with it once the rollout hits your account. You can also choose a custom date and time or the far more romantic “Someday,” as you float down the river on your homemade raft, wondering where it all went so terrible wrong.Google is officially rolling out its Gmail overhaul today, bringing users a dramatic revamp of the email client's look, along with new features, including confidential mode, which will allow users to send 'self-destructing' emails, and a snooze feature, which didn't get quite as much press back when details about the overhaul began to emerge. From there, you can choose from a number of presets, including “Later Today,” “Tomorrow,” “Later This Week,” “This Weekend” and “Next Week.” Once inside an email, click the top bar to find the option in a list of functions.

Of course, this all gives Google a nice little leg up on Apple’s own Pay app, which isn’t baked into Gmail. You can access that by ticking the attachment button and scrolling all the way down.įrom there, you’ll find options to send or request money via Pay. The more interesting of the two is the addition of Google Pay, which makes it possible to “pay anyone with an email address,” according to the developer notes. If you’re among those using Gmail on iOS, check the App Store right now for an update that brings a couple of key new features to the app. Happy I/O day! The big show hasn’t actually kicked off, but the Google news continues to trickle in.
