Gmail is working on an email scheduling feature

Gmail is working on an email scheduling feature

Chances are that in the past few years you’ve had moments when you’d rather send an email a bit later, but that you were hindered. After deeper research into the brand new Gmail code, a new planning function was discovered that Google is working on.

Google specialist 9to5Google has found in the code details to plan emails in the future. This can range from two minutes to fifty years. The lines of code were found in the Gmail application of Android.

Scheduled e-mails can easily be deleted when necessary. From then on, they become classic e-mails that you can send or delete immediately. The scheduling mechanism is done through the cloud, so you don’t have to be online when the message is scheduled.

The function has been in development for a long time and was already spotted in the code in July 2018 with some references. This is the first time that so much information is available. The function may be rolled out on Gmail’s 15th anniversary next month.

New features

Google has recently added a lot of features to Gmail to justify the departure of Inbox at the end of March. It added new shortcut functions to Gmail at the end of January. The new Setting Shortcut features are added to the New Email Format window and are designed to help users correct and edit errors more quickly.

The context menu has also been refreshed and is now much more user-friendly. Google still has a lot to make up for. His mail client receives less support than Microsoft’s Outlook, which is not only used much more within a business environment, but is also considered better by users.
