Writing emails in Gmail is now faster thanks to this trick
Table of contents:
Little by little, Gmail seems to be taking functions from messaging applications that help to unify the writing experience within the mobile. And it is that, why maintain an old email system when we are all used to mentioning with at @ in all social networks and messaging applications? Well, they have noticed this and now they are deploying a new feature that will subtract steps when writing Gmail emails on the mobile.mentions arrive to mark recipients directly in the body of the message.
The feature has been active in the web version of Gmail for some time now. However, Google has announced its arrival in the coming days for all G Suite users. Of course, it will do so gradually and within a term of up to 15 days So don't despair if after reading these lines it doesn't work on your mobile. Please be patient and update your app to the latest version to be able to use this new feature.
More agile mails
The idea is simple: complete the "to" section of an email or email directly with the text of the message In this way we We skip steps such as clicking on the To section and writing or searching for the recipient of the email, and then writing the text. Now we just have to look at the body of the message and, of course, mention here the person to whom the email is addressed.Of course, in a special way.
To mention the recipient and have them automatically added to the "to" section, we only have to use one of these two symbols: + or @And, of course, write the name of the person to whom it is addressed. For example, we can do it directly in the initial greeting with a phrase like "Hello +David" or "Hello @David". In this way, a list of contact options called David is displayed to choose the one we want to send the message to. Once we select the real recipient, it will not only be written in the body of the message, but will also be added to the mail recipient box. A more agile procedure with fewer steps than the old way of drafting.
At the moment Google has announced the arrival of this function in the version of Gmail for Android in the G Suite environmentBut hopefully this feature will reach everyone soon. At the moment, the launch date is set for the first of September, although there is a 15-day period for its general deployment for everyone.
