The Snooze feature on Gmail and Undo Send feature on Gmail are two new additions when you switch your Gmail interface to the new one. Currently, this interface is available, but Gmail still allows users to use and get acquainted with both interfaces without forcing them to switch to the new Gmail interface.
However, when you switch to the new Gmail interface, users will easily notice the Snooze and Undo Send features. These are two features that few users pay attention to, but if you know how to use them, you'll understand that these two features weren't randomly added to Gmail. Now, let's explore the Snooze feature on Gmail and the Undo Send feature on Gmail, including how to use them.
Explore and Use the Snooze Feature on Gmail
Before understanding what Snooze is, let's see how the Snooze feature on Gmail is utilized!
Step 1: Log in to Gmail. On the new Gmail interface, hover over any email, and you'll see the Snooze icon. Click on it.
Step 2:Here, the system will allow you to hide the email as well as all related content within this email for a specified time. If you set it for tomorrow, it will hide and reappear on the specified date.
Step 3: When you receive a notification that the conversation has been temporarily postponed, it means you have successfully used Snooze.
What is the Snooze feature on Gmail?
- Imagine Snooze as your alarm clock. If you set an 8 AM wake-up, Snooze will appear and remind you exactly at 8 AM. The purpose of using Snooze is for users to focus on a more important email, temporarily remove unnecessary issues from their Gmail, and set a suitable time for it to reappear for further action. During the Snooze period, you won't be affected by it, even if the other party replies to that email.
Explore and Use the Undo Send Feature on Gmail
Tiếp theo chúng ta sẽ cùng tìm hiểu tính năng Undo Send trên Gmail được sử dụng như thế nào trước khi hiểu rõ mục đích của Undo Send.
Bước 1: Trên giao diện Gmail mới bạn soạn nội dung Gmail bất kỳ và gửi nó đi nhé.
Bước 2: Ngay lập tức bên góc trái màn hình sẽ hiện một thanh công cụ, hãy nhấn vào hoàn tác (Undo Send) để xem thử chuyện gì xảy ra.
Bước 3: Ngay lập tức bạn sẽ trở lại giao diện gửi thư với nội dung y như ban đầu lúc bạn chưa gửi.
Step 4: Check in the sent items section, and you'll find no sent emails. What just happened?
What is the Undo Send feature on Gmail?
In simple terms, Undo Send is a feature allowing you to retrieve a sent email within a specified timeframe that we can set. It's used when the sent email is incomplete, and you don't want the recipient to read it yet. Alternatively, you may just want to recall a sent email within the allowed time.
Step 1: To set the time for Undo Send, click the settings icon and choose settings.
Step 2: Here, select the Undo Send section and choose a time range, with a minimum of 5 seconds and currently a maximum of 30 seconds. This means within a maximum time of 30 seconds, you have the right to retrieve your email.
Step 3: After setting up Undo Send, don't forget to save the changes.
Here is a quick overview of the Sooze feature on Gmail as well as the Undo Send feature on Gmail, two new features on the new Gmail interface. If you want to use these features, switch to the new Gmail interface first. Because if you feel uncomfortable, we can always switch the Gmail interface back to default. But it's better to get acquainted with the new Gmail interface because soon Google will announce that users won't be able to switch the Gmail interface back to default anymore.
A very useful feature in Gmail that many people don't know about is how to export contacts from Gmail. When you do this, you'll save all the emails in Gmail in CSV format. Later, when you want to add Gmail accounts back, you just need to import the CSV file. Details on how to export contacts from Gmail can be found here.
