Your Gmail is permanently changing soon - here's what to expect
By Mike Moore
our Gmail account will soon look a little bit different as the company finally
rolls out its long-expected makeover to all users.
In a bid to offer users a more complete Google Workspace experience, the
updated Gmail will now provide not just email services, but video conferencing
and chat options, all in a single location.
Users won't have to do anything to activate the new-look Gmail, which will be
updated by default over the next few days to users across the world in a bid to
help modernize the platform. the company has confirmed that the new look "will
become the standard experience for Gmail, with no option to revert to the
original UI". News of the facelift was first announced in February 2022, as
part of a move to bring other Google Workspace services such as Chat and Meet
closer to Gmail.
Most Gmail users were able to try out the new look service in November 2022,
but retained the option to revert back to the "original view" at any time.
From today, this will no longer be possible, with users fixed to the new design
- although Google does note that users can change their Gmail theme, inbox
type, and more through the quick settings menu.
The change may seem quite drastic to some Gmail users, who will still see
emails displayed front and centre, but shifted significantly over to the
right-hand side of the display to make way for a new sidebar on the left side
that contains quick links to Chat, Spaces and Meet, shifting your email folders
and label options over slightly.
