Gmail Hidden Features: We have all been using Gmail for a long time, but even today, there are many features that most people don't know about. AI creator and X (formerly Twitter) user Darshal Jaitwar recently shared a thread. In this thread, he has revealed some hidden Gmail features that help in managing the inbox more effectively. In his post, he shared 10 easy but very useful tips related to Gmail, which save time, reduce inbox clutter, and make work easier than before. Let's learn about them.

You can instantly recall a sent email

One very useful Gmail feature is the ability to instantly recall a sent email. If you have the ‘Undo Send’ option turned on in the settings, you can cancel the email for about 30 seconds after sending it. This prevents accidentally or hastily sent emails.

You can clear promotional emails all at once

Removing unwanted promotional emails in Gmail is also easy. To do this, type ‘unsubscribe’ in the search box; this separates the marketing emails. Then you can select and delete them all at once, and your inbox is instantly clean.


You can send confidential emails

If you need to send sensitive information via email, Gmail's Confidential Mode is a very useful feature. In this mode, the recipient cannot copy, forward, or print the email. It can be easily turned on by clicking on the padlock icon that appears at the bottom while composing an email. You can use Gmail even without the internet

You can use Gmail even without an internet connection. After enabling offline mode in the settings, you can read emails, search, and even draft new emails. As soon as the internet connection is restored, all emails are automatically synced.

Schedule emails to be sent later

Users can schedule emails to be sent at a specific date and time. This makes working across different time zones easier and ensures emails are sent during professional working hours.

Snooze emails to view them later

The snooze feature allows emails to temporarily disappear from your inbox and reappear at a chosen time. This helps you stay focused on important tasks without the fear of missing important messages.

Organize messages with labels

Instead of traditional folders, Gmail uses labels, allowing you to categorize a single email into multiple categories. Users can create custom labels like Work, Travel, or Personal to keep their inbox organized.

Create and save email templates

For messages that need to be sent repeatedly, Gmail offers the option to create templates. Once a template is saved, it can be reused with just one click, saving both time and effort.

Keep important emails safe

Instead of deleting important emails, you can archive them or apply labels. This keeps your inbox clean, and you can easily find the emails when needed.

Save time with keyboard shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts can significantly speed up your workflow. Gmail offers a variety of keyboard shortcuts that make reading and navigating emails easier. After enabling shortcuts in the settings, pressing 'Shift + ?' will display a complete list of all available shortcuts.
