  • Easier access to integrated apps like Google Keep, Google Calendar, and the brand-new Google Tasks.
  • Gmail has a ‘Confidential’ mode: With this mode, you now have the ability to remove the option to forward, copy, download, or print the email you have sent. This is great when you need to send sensitive information over email, though obviously, it’s not a fully secured against unwanted sharing. You can also set messages to expire after a while, which could prove useful on numerous occasions.

The new Gmail interface,

  • Attachments interface and Snooze

  • Apps sidebar

  • Reply reminders

  • Smart Reply

How can you get the new Gmail interface?

Well according to Google, the new interface of Gmail is as simple as clicking on the “cog” — settings button on the right side of the interface and selecting “Try the new Gmail”. Although, Google says that the new interface is rolling out on the web starting today, but some features will only go live over the “coming weeks”.

We at TechJuice have checked on multiple accounts and we haven’t got the activation link yet. The rollout is staged and may take a while to reach everyone across the globe because there are billions of Google accounts. So one can easily say it’s not a simple process. As for the iOS and Andriod apps, they are still waiting for the updates with the new features.
