Google Gmail is synonymous with free email, due to the message
managing platform’s spectacular popularity. Part of Gmail’s success is due to
regular updates, offering new functions and refreshing the interface. But one
of these features, Gmail Nudges, is proving an unwelcome addition.
What
are Gmail Nudges?
Gmail Nudge is intended to be a helpful hint for users to
respond to emails.
The Gmail Nudges feature places forgotten back at the top of the
Inbox.
Anyone who has installed the overhauled email service has
Gmail Nudge automatically activated.
The free service uses cutting-edge tech to trawl for emails you
may have forgotten to reply to or follow-up on.
This feature has proved a god-send to those with cluttered
inboxes after receiving large quantities of email.
But although the idea is fine, many users have developed their
own way of working and Gmail Nudges has quickly become an annoyance for many.
How
to deactivate Gmail Nudges:
Gmail Nudges is an easy simple feature to disable on the
platform’s desktop version.
Begin by opening your browser window and go to Gmail.
Then head to the Gmail Settings menu where you will find a Nudge
option.
Click on the Settings icon, which resembles a cog on the right
side of the main pane.
Two options are on by default: Suggest Emails to Reply to and
Suggest Emails to Follow up on, and users can select which to switch off.
How
to deactivate Gmail Nudges in Android:
Open Gmail on your Android phone then tap on the three-lines
icon in the top left corner.
Then from the drop-down menu, head the bottom and tap on
Settings.
Next select your account, then scroll until you arrive at the
Gmail Nudges section.
This opens a new page, again with two options: Suggest Emails to
Reply to and Suggest Emails to Follow Up on, each accompanied by its own
tickbox.
The complete the process by un-ticking the boxes to stop the
Nudges function.
Google Gmail has also introduced native offline support for
Chrome users.
This allowing Chrome users to use basic features of the Web
client without requiring internet access.
The new Gmail feature comes with several artificial
intelligence-based features including Smart Reply, email snoozing, and more.
Gmail now also includes certain privacy-focused features like a
new Confidential mode, a revamped risk warning, and the ability to unsubscribe
from newsletters with the click of a button.
