Google claims that “using Emoji emojis in Gmail inboxes is as easy as responding to an “instant message” sent by someone else,” and that this Emoji response is actually “a convenient way to reply. This Emoji response is actually “a convenient way to respond to an Instant Message without the complexity of a manual reply”.

Google also said that if a user’s Gmail account is a “work or school account”, then it is not possible to send emoji reactions, and if emails sent from this “work or school account” are subject to emoji reactions from other users, then these reactions will be sent to the user’s Gmail account, and the emoji reaction will be sent to the user’s Gmail account. If emoji reactions are received from other users, they will be sent as “separate emails” to the respective accounts.

Google said yesterday, that every day Gmail users send more than 5000 emails “Bulk mail sender (Bulk Sender)” needs to provide “a key to unsubscribe” button in the mail, and also needs to verify the relevant domain name, this requirement will be mandatory in February 2024 to implement. The requirement, which will become mandatory in February 2024, will see non-compliant emails blocked by Google or classified as spam by default.

It is reported that any domain that sends more than 5,000 emails to Gmail in a day will be considered as a “Bulk Sender” by Google, and Google claimed that many “Bulk Senders” have vulnerabilities in their email systems that can be exploited by hackers. Google claimed that many “bulk mail senders” have vulnerabilities in their mail systems that can lead to hackers taking advantage of the situation, so Google asked these “bulk mail senders” to verify their domain addresses last year, which “reduced the number of unverified emails received by users of Gmail mailboxes by 75%”.

Google article that from next February, Google will require these “bulk mail senders” must pass strict identity verification, need to set SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) authentication, of which SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) authentication, of which SPF (DomainKeys Identified Mail) authentication. Mail) authentication, of which SPF can be used to prevent others from using the domain name of the “bulk mailer” to send spam, and DKIM can verify the content of emails sent by the owner of the domain name.

Google believes that Gmail users must be able to “unsubscribe” with one click in the email in question, and if the “unsubscribe” feature is not clear in the emails sent by these “mass emailers”, Google will not be able to “unsubscribe” with one click in the email but will be able to do so with one click. If the “unsubscribe” feature is not clear in the emails sent by these “mass emailers”, Google will also block the emails in question. Because Google has adopted an open standard for establishing such requirements, users of Gmail and other email services can benefit from Google’s requirements.

Google also believes that “mass mailers” should ensure that they are sending the kind of mail that users want, so it plans to establish a “spam threshold” to ensure that Gmail users are not bombarded with spam.

Neil Kumaran, Google’s product manager, said the changes are like a tweak to the email world, and that by fixing “some of the hidden problems” in the world, Google can keep email running smoothly, but that this is not a “one-time effort. But it’s not a “one-time thing,” and it’s going to take ongoing collaboration across the community to keep the email world safer and more spam-free.

After offering end-to-end encryption for the web, Google Gmail Mail now offers the same end-to-end encryption for Android and iOS apps, allowing mobile users to read and write encrypted emails directly from their smartphones.

Google’s blog post to the effect that:

  • While Google Workspace uses Secure by Design encryption libraries to encrypt data at rest and in transit, client-side encryption ensures that you have full control over encryption keys and data access.
  • Client-side encryption ensures that sensitive data in the body of your emails and attachments cannot be decrypted by Google servers and that you retain control of your encryption keys and the identity services that access them.

Google says the feature allows users to work with the “most sensitive” data on their mobile devices from anywhere, while still complying with compliance and regulatory requirements. The feature encrypts and digitally signs emails using the S/MIEE protocol before they are sent to Google’s servers.

The feature is described as requiring a Google Workspace subscription and administrator configuration, and is not supported for non-enterprise or education subscribers. The applicable versions are listed below:

  • Google Workspace for Enterprise Plus
  • Education Plus
  • Education Standard

The following versions are not available:

  • Essentials
  • Business Starter
  • Business Standard Plus
  • Google Personal Accounts

This feature is disabled by default, eligible users can enable end-to-end encryption by clicking the blue lock icon in the “Subject” column of Gmail, administrators must enable access through the CSE management interface.

After the AI has done this, users can refine the completed email to suit their needs, such as making it more detailed, more formal, or shorter.

However, Google also warns that this feature should not be used for medical, legal, financial or other professional advice. Likewise, users are not advised to enter any personal information or sensitive content because the data is networked throughout.

New feature, you need to register for Google Workspace Lab before you can experience it on your own device.

Launched back in 2004, Gmail provided users with a more robust alternative, which allowed it to quickly replace traditional web-based email services such as Yahoo and Hotmail. Today, Gmail is one of the most relied upon email services in the world, accounting for more than 27% of all email opens and more than 330 billion total emails on any given day.

With that, there’s naturally a lot of email to sift through, and that’s exactly what Google wants to help you overcome with the power of machine learning.

Millions of users around the world rely on Gmail as their primary email service, and the sheer volume of emails sent and received every day makes keeping a clean, organized inbox just a dream. But that help from artificial intelligence is coming, according to the Google Workspace Update team, which details Gmail’s efforts to incorporate machine learning models to enhance its email search experience.

The blog post notes that Google is introducing a feature that will leverage its latest machine learning technology to deliver more accurate Gmail search results. The technology is designed to provide a more targeted and accurate set of results.

Gmail users who initiate a search will be automatically assisted by Google’s newly integrated machine learning models. These models will take into account the user’s search terms and recent emails to produce results that are closely related to the user’s search query. The blog post notes that AI-assisted results will appear at the top of the results in a dedicated area, followed by all other results normally returned, and arranged by closest.

This new feature is being rolled out to all Gmail users and requires no additional action or configuration. Mobile users simply use the Gmail search bar as usual and enter any desired keywords to retrieve relevant and desired search results.

The new Gmail Search feature begins rolling out on June 2, 2023 through Google’s rapid release and scheduled release cycles. Fast Release makes the consumer version of Gmail available as soon as Google rolls out the new features, so there is no evaluation period and it can be used immediately. For businesses, administrators can choose to delay the release of new features on a “scheduled” basis to allow time to train employees or prepare for upcoming changes. The scheduled release cycle typically begins 1-2 weeks into the rapid release deployment cycle.

Google previously placed advertisements at the top of the Gmail inbox, but according to recent feedback from many netizens, Google moved the advertisements to the middle of the inbox and mixed them into users’ regular emails, which caused users to strong dissatisfaction.

According to a report by foreign technology media 9to5Google, Google’s behavior of placing ads in Gmail inboxes can be traced back to ten years ago, and they were placed at the top before so that users can effectively distinguish them.

According to reports, Google has not only adjusted the number of ads embedded in Gmail on mobile and web terminals in the past few days but now there will be two ads displayed at the top.

The users are generally dissatisfied with Google’s approach.

Google in late March this year, enabled the Trusted Tester test program, inviting users to test the generation of artificial intelligence in Gmail and Docs.

Google today announced the expansion of the Trusted Tester test scale, expanding 10 times, inviting more users to participate in the test. Users can join by clicking “Labs in Google Workspace,” but it’s still limited to U.S. users.

Google has introduced the Floating Action Button (FAB) on mobile and the “Help me write” button on web. When users click on the button, a prompt pops up, as follows:

The user needs to enter at least 6 words. For better results, please consider including the recipient, the subject and the tone you want to convey in the prompt. For example, “I didn’t attend the parent-teacher conference, sorry to the teacher.”

After generating content, users can choose to “Recreate” or “Refine”, with 4 options before insertion:

Formalize: Makes the draft more formal.

Elaborate: Add details to the text.

Shorten: shortens the content.

I'm Feeling Lucky: update the draft with creative details.

Google is also planning to follow Twitter’s social platform by enabling a blue ticker in its email service Gmail to indicate that its accounts have undergone a rigorous authentication process.

Google says this authentication will help improve the security of the Gmail platform and will build on the existing BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) review system. BIMI-authenticated brands can display an avatar in emails.

By adding ticked blue tags around BIMI senders, Google says it can help users identify emails from legitimate senders and imposters.

According to the sample image shared by Google, the verification badge is a blue icon with a white checkmark in the middle. When hovered over, it indicates that the sender has verified the logo in their domain and profile image.

The official Google press release is here for interested users to read.

One of the most requested improvements by Gmail users is further enhancements to the search feature. In a short announcement today, Google wrote: “Better search results based on your recent searches in Gmail. The announcement only mentions Gmail.com for the web and not the Gmail App for mobile.

Google optimized Gmail’s search function in July this year, and can provide personalized query suggestions based on “the frequency of your interaction with colleagues through Gmail” and other “historical exchanges”. Another improvement at the time was the deployment of new machine learning models to provide “more relevant and contextual contact suggestions and intent matching for names and email addresses.” For example, reorder suggestions to match contacts sorted by first name or email address instead of the last name.
