The years when we talk about technology seem to go differently than the passage of time. And so we come to a birthday like that of Gmail , which has just turned 15 ! Google wanted to celebrate by introducing two new features for users of its e-mail service .
Since 2004 (when Gmail appeared on the Web) several steps have been taken in many directions from fighting SPAM with increasingly effective means, to ever faster searches as well as a constantly increasing storage space.
After 15 years , Gmail is used by 1.5 billion users every day despite initially seeming almost a joke. In fact, the service was launched a few hours from April 1 by proposing particular solutions for the time. So could it be a Google joke ?
Google has emphasized its fight against SPAM with Gmail, managing it through artificial intelligence as well as helping users. At present 10 million junk emails are blocked per minute, a good result!
The Mountain View company also extolled the work done to make Gmail "smartphone proof" , which when it was launched in 2004 was not yet a reality. One of the choices made was that of the organization with tabs that allow you to automatically divide emails based on content analysis.
Gmail news for its 15 years
So what is there in the future of Gmail ? For example Smart Compose (already usable in English) that allows you to respond to emails faster thanks to artificial intelligence. On the birthday of the Google service announced the availability for languages such as Italian , French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Furthermore Smart Compose is now available in the Gmail app for Android and iOS (coming soon to the latter) and not limited to Pixel 3 smartphones only .
Always Smart Compose will now learn from the user how to write by suggesting phrases based on the context as well as the subject of the message. Another novelty is the planning of sending an email in the most appropriate time and date, allowing you to manage the workflow in a different way.
To make the work "seamless" , you can continue to use Gmail also to respond to comments in Google Docs and perform other operations without having to exit the app or open a new tab but directly in a contextual window within the main window.
