Coolest New Features in Gmail Redesign
If you’re using Gmail and Google Calendar , scheduling an email event should be easy, but it can be frustrating to switch between the two apps to check your availability. Now it looks like Google finally has a solution to this first world problem , and you’ll find it in a major update coming to Gmail’s desktop view.
We know from The Verge that Google is planning to add a new sidebar to Gmail that can display a big, beautiful view of your calendar. So, if your coworker sends you an email suggesting a meeting at a later time in the week, all you have to do is look to the right to see when you are available. The sidebar can also be used to display Keep ( Google’s impressive note-taking app ) or Tasks (a helpful to-do list that’s already built into Gmail ).
Besides the new sidebar, the browser version of Gmail also borrows some tricks from its mobile version. When the update happens, you’ll be able to snooze the emails on your desktop to delete them from your inbox before the set time, which is really useful if you’re in a complete mess like mine and worried about important messages getting lost in the mess. The Google update also adds smart responses – those responses that the AI ​​generates in one click, which are good, but not always usable.
It is unclear exactly when the update will come out, but it should be out pretty soon. In a statement to Mashable, Google said it needs “a little more time” to finalize the changes, and an official announcement is likely to be made in “the coming weeks.”
