Gmail News & Updates

Gmail for iOS will now alert users whenever a link appears that seems, well, suspicious. The suspicious link warning will come in the form of a box that states how the link leads to an untrusted site. Another warning from Google provides the perfect definition of a phishing scheme and says, "The site you are trying to open has been identified as a forgery designed to trick you into disclosing financial, personal or other sensitive information." If either box appears before you click on a link, your best bet is to stop in your tracks and do not proceed.

Google has deployed an anti-phishing feature for Gmail mobile application which will stop useless emails from entering your inbox. Phishing is essentially fraud emails which apparently come from reputable companies (but they do not) with an aim to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. A new mechanism to control this is currently available only for Apple iOS device users.

Google Brings AMP To Gmail; Announces Snapchat-style AMP Stories In Search

Google is bringing its Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) feature to email with the developer preview for Gmail. Google is calling the new feature as AMP for Email, and it will allow developers to make emails as simple as AMP for web pages.

Google envisioned AMP as a platform to make mobile pages load faster, and was mainly an effort to make publishers deliver their content effectively. Google says AMP for web pages is one of the best ways to build rich web pages, and says it is now time to expand it to more places starting with email.

Bringing the power of AMP to Gmail

Today, we’re bringing the power of AMP to email through the Gmail Developer Preview of "AMP for Email." This new spec will be a powerful way for developers to create more engaging, interactive, and actionable email experiences.

For example, imagine you could complete tasks directly in email. With AMP for Email, you’ll be able to quickly take actions like submit an RSVP to an event, schedule an appointment, or fill out a questionnaire right from the email message. Many people rely on email for information about flights, events, news, purchases and beyond—more than 270 billion emails are sent each day! AMP for Email will also make it possible for information to easily kept up-to-date, so emails never get stale and the content is accurate when a user looks at it.
