Google unveiled its\u00a0new design for Gmail<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0yesterday, which features a modern and clean look.<\/p>\n

The new look was said to be available to all Gmail users, but several South African users reported not being able to access the upgrade.<\/p>\n

This has passed, however, and the “New Gmail” is now available to local users.<\/p>\n

Users can upgrade to the new Gmail\u00a0by clicking the Settings cog icon on the top-right of their Gmail page, and selecting\u00a0\u201cTry the new Gmail\u201d.<\/p>\n

New features<\/h3>\n

Google said the new Gmail not only features a new look, but multiple upgrades.<\/p>\n

This includes\u00a0advanced security features, new applications of Google\u2019s artificial intelligence, and more integrations with other G Suite apps.<\/p>\n

The company said its recently-introduced protections in Gmail have helped block 99.9% of business email compromise threats, and the new Gmail has added to this with a\u00a0\u201cconfidential mode\u201d.<\/p>\n

This lets users protect sensitive content in emails by creating expiration dates, revoking sent messages, and adding additional authentication via text message to view an email.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cThese bigger, bolder warnings will help you be even more informed when it comes to potentially risky email,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Google has also promised performance improvements for regular Gmail users.<\/p>\n

The redesigned Gmail application helps users take action quicker, it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow 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,\u201d said Google.<\/p>\n

The new Gmail features a task bar on the top-right by default, which hosts\u00a0Keep for notes, Tasks – which lets you create tasks – and Calendar.<\/p>\n

There is also an option to get more add-ons, with a link to the G Suite Marketplace.<\/p>\n
