As of Thursday, it is rolling out an AI-powered \u201csmarter search\u201d layout globally, which prioritises what it thinks you most want to see.<\/p>\n<p>When you input a search term, Gmail will no longer list the related emails in chronological order, from newest to oldest; instead, it will list the emails based on its own relevancy ranking, which takes into account recency but also the most-clicked emails and frequent contacts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost relevant\u201d will be available for users with personal Google accounts accessing their inbox on the web and in the official Gmail app for Android and iOS. Business users will be granted access later on. You will still have the option to turn this \u201cmost relevant\u201d feature off and show \u201cmost recent\u201d instead by using the new dropdown menu just below the search bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this update, the emails you\u2019re looking for are far more likely to be at the top of your search results \u2014 saving you valuable time and helping you find important information more easily,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/gmail\/gmail-search-update-relevant-emails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google said in a blog post about Gmail\u2019s upgraded search features<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/how-to-clean-up-your-gmail-inbox-with-this-mass-delete-trick\/\">How to Mass Delete Emails on Gmail: Best Way to Declutter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<aside class=\"pinbox right\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">More Google news &amp; tips<\/h3>\n<\/aside>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_this_Gmail_update_be_better_received_than_similar_Mail_app_changes\"><\/span>Will this Gmail update be better received than similar Mail app changes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fact that the Google announcement opens with \u201cif you\u2019ve ever struggled with finding information in your overflowing inbox, you\u2019re not alone\u201d is fairly ironic. The search features in both Gmail and Outlook inboxes have been a point of contention for years. Users complain they find it difficult to locate emails even when using hyper-specific search terms.<\/p>\n<p>However, Apple recently made a similar change to the Mail app with the iOS 18 update to mixed reactions. The Categories inbox layout has four tabs: Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions. Mail decides which category each email falls into, with Primary containing the most important ones and acts as the default category.<\/p>\n<p>Users complained that if Mail mistakenly deems an important email as, say, a newsletter or payment receipt, they might miss it, especially as it was hard to see when new emails were received in categories other than Primary. Gmail may encounter similar grumbles if its AI decides whether an email is relevant or not, independent of the user.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gmails_bigger_AI_push_goes_beyond_search\"><\/span>Gmail\u2019s bigger AI push goes beyond search<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the only AI feature Google has added to Gmail in the past few months. Users can chat with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/google-bard-cheat-sheet\/\">Google\u2019s chatbot<\/a>, Gemini, about the content of their inbox or draft a response. They can also use Gemini to add events to a Google Calendar directly from an email.<\/p>\n<p>In October, Gmail introduced \u201csummary cards,\u201d which appear at the top of an open email and enable users to perform related actions directly within their inbox. These include tracking packages, checking in for flights, and paying bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Google Google is integrating artificial intelligence into your Gmail inbox, whether you like it or not.
