If you ever use Gmail on the web, you'll soon have a fresh new version to manage your inbox.
A new version of Gmail on the web is coming soon. Google is sending an email to G Suite administrators to alert them about the update, and The Verge managed to get hold of that email. According to this email, the Gmail update will include "several new features" such as a "fresh, clean look", Smart Reply, email snoozing, and offline support.
This updated version of Gmail for the web will also be offered to regular Gmail accounts.
Google confirmed that an update to Gmail for the web is coming in this punny statement:
“We’re working on some major updates to Gmail (they’re still in draft phase). We need a bit more time to compose ourselves, so can’t share anything yet—archive this for now, and we’ll let you know when it’s time to hit send.”
It's unclear exactly when this new Gmail will roll out or what it will look like, but this update is exciting news for anyone who uses Gmail on the web. The current web version of Gmail has been around for quite a while, so a more modern look will be welcome, especially if it brings with it features that we're used to having in mobile apps, like snoozing and Smart Reply.
