As predicted, Gmail has received its big makeover on the web—or at least, it’s starting to receive it, with certain users of Google’s business-oriented G Suite getting the first look.
This really is a huge revamp, with a look that’s much closer to the Gmail mobile apps, and a ton of new functionality. The changes are coming to consumers too—keep an eye out for a “Try the new Gmail” option in the settings at the top right of your screen—but there’s a big focus on business users here.
Gmail security updates
As such, security gets a lot of prominence. There’s a new “confidential mode” that makes it possible to set an expiry date on emails. Users will be able to set it so emails cannot be forwarded, copied, downloaded or printed.
