Can you imagine being able to retrieve that email you just sent with a blundering or to the wrong person? This problem has kept many clueless users awake at night who, on more than one occasion, have had to resend said email after discovering bugs or errors Something in whichGoogle has been working for some time now, and for which it has found a simple solution: undo sending A feature that has already been seen in Inbox, its application that handles mail from Gmailas if they were tasks to be done, but only in the web version Now it also comes to smartphonesto try to avoid this problem
In this way, it is possible to cancel and undo a sending moments after clicking on the button Send This involves recovering the message that has just been sent, preventing the recipient(s) from accessing it. A great help to avoid relaying wrong information or to people who perhaps should not be able to access it. A feature that is now enabled by default in Inbox apps for both Android and for iOS, and does not require any configuration. This is how it works
Just compose a new email as usual from Inbox Almost as if from Gmail In the case, you just have to choose the recipient or recipients, a subject and a body where all the information is developed. After this, all that remains is to press the button Send in the upper right corner, as before. The difference is that Inbox now displays a black bar at the bottom of the screen where it indicates that the message is being sending or, after a few seconds, that it has been sentOn the right side of this black bar, however, appears the option Undo Something common in this application when carrying out actions such as move a mail from one category to another, or even when they are deleted However, now it refers specifically to cancel a shipment.
This effectively fails to send the message, retrieving it so the contact can't see it, and displaying it again in its compose page for the user who created it in order to touch it up and improve it A process that also applies to messages that are sent in response to other emails. And it is that undoing a sending is applied to all formats of outgoing emails, always recovering all the information and showing it to the user to retouch it at will.
Of course, unlike what happens in the web version of Gmail, in Inbox There is no setting possible in this feature to set a default time before sending occurs effectively Thus, it is not possible to either increase or reduce the time for cancellation of a shipment, so the The user must stick to the default time of Inbox if they want to undo it effectively, before transmitting the information with any possible errors.The Inbox app is available through Google Play and App Store totally free
