Gmail will reduce spam emails in your inbox from April onwards

Google is implementing stricter policies to crack down on bulk email senders and reduce spam. Starting this month, bulk senders who don't comply with Google's new requirements may receive temporary errors. From April, Google will begin rejecting a percentage of non-compliant email traffic, gradually increasing the rejection rate. The new policies require bulk senders to authenticate their emails, avoid sending unwanted messages, and implement a one-click unsubscribe button for commercial and promotional emails by June 2024. The goal is to give users more control over the emails they receive.

Google makes passkeys default option for all users

Google is making "passkeys" the default sign-in method for all users as an alternative to passwords.

20 years of Gmail

Gmail, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last week, has come a long way since its launch. It initially offered 1GB of storage and was free, revolutionizing how inboxes were used.
