Google has unveiled a new design for Gmail<\/strong><\/a>, which features a more modern and cleaner look.<\/p>\n

Google said the new Gmail features “a brand new look on the web, advanced security features, new applications of Google\u2019s artificial intelligence, and even more integrations with other G Suite apps”.<\/p>\n

The company said data security is an important consideration for it, and recently-introduced protections in Gmail have helped block 99.9% of\u00a0Business Email Compromise threats.<\/p>\n

Now Gmail has added a “confidential mode”, which lets users protect sensitive content in emails by creating expiration dates or revoking previously-sent messages.<\/p>\n

“Because you can require additional authentication via text message to view an email, it\u2019s also possible to protect data even if a recipient\u2019s email account has been hijacked while the message is active,” said Google.<\/p>\n

“Built-in information rights management controls also allow you to remove the option to forward, copy, download, or print messages.”<\/p>\n

Google said it has also redesigned its\u00a0security warnings in Gmail, so information is easier to see and understand.<\/p>\n

“These bigger, bolder warnings will help you be even more informed when it comes to potentially risky email,” it said.<\/p>\n

Quicker emails<\/h3>\n

When it comes to regular email usage, Google said it has\u00a0redesigned the Gmail web application to help users take action quicker.<\/p>\n

“Now you can see and click attachments in your inbox before ever opening a thread. You can also hover over messages to do things like RSVP to a meeting invite, archive an email thread, or snooze an email until the time is right,” said Google.<\/p>\n

Google said users can access the new Gmail by clicking the Settings cog icon on the top-right of their Gmail page, and selecting\u00a0\u201cTry the new Gmail”.<\/p>\n

Images of the new design are posted below.<\/p>\n
