New icons

The new interface is lighter, many elements are left on   their places. But   at   eyes immediately rush and   new buttons. Thus, in   Right-hand corner there were links-icons for a quick transition to   Other Google cloud apps: Calendar, Tasks, and   Keep.

Letters

If   you do not have time to view incoming mails   - now there was a button Snooze ( " Delay " ). It allows you to hide a message from   list on   time, after which the user will receive a reminder of the   unread message.

If a sent or received letter remains unanswered for a long time   - Gmail will remind you   In this way, after having offered to reply to the interlocutor or send to   archive. Such notifications are highlighted in orange and   are displayed near the message headers in the   section " Inbox " .

Security

Like us   already wrote earlier, in   updated Gmail appeared self-destructing letters . AT   privacy mode you   you can send information that can not be copied, forwarded, saved or printed. This letter itself is deleted after a fixed period of time (several days, months or even years).

In addition, notifications of   potentially dangerous letters will now   note: they are highlighted in red.

Gmail will be updated gradually in   different countries, so   worry if the design of your mail is the same. You can check the update in   settings by pressing «Try the new Gmail» ( «Try the new Gmail»). If you do not redesign   like it   - there   there is an item " Go   back to   classic Gmail " , which returns the service to   old version.

Recall, it was previously expected that the new interface will be presented at the   conference for developers of Google I / O 2018 in   early May, but   it happened on   a few weeks earlier.
