Last October, Google announced its most sweeping changes in the email, most especially not any of this changes new Gmail features, but has a new way of processing message: Inbox.
Inbox can be used with any browser, but it's simple interface is primarily designed for mobile. It helps you manage your email than Gmail much more radical, for example you can set together, delete. And when Google released another update, it also supports the latest design of Material Design.
If Gmail is not released in 2004, but released in 2014, then it may be the same as Inbox. In order not to get sick of Gmail users have been very happy with, Google has created a new Inbox, and initially released in only a few people to test.
After several months of testing, Google was pleased with the Inbox, decided to terminate the invite mode. At the I/O Developer Conference yesterday, the company announced the Inbox will be open to all.
Other than open, Google also adds some new features:
Travel bound (Trip bundles). Inbox when it detects when travel-related messages, such as flight and hotel class, it will prepare for you the trip and significant location information is displayed in the Inbox, in order not to miss. It can also extract the relevant information from the Internet, such as real-time flight information.
Cancel send (Undo Send). Gmail has been able to make it back after you send your message, in case you need further editing or do not want to send. Now also have this function in the Inbox, you can click on send after 10 seconds back.
To-do list scan (To-do scanning). Inbox will scan your message, text search looks like tasks, such as whether someone has let you book doctors, which pop up when you need information.
Deep linking (Deep linking). If you link to open a hotel or catering orders in the mail, and different is, Inbox not open the browser, but will open the corresponding application. This process of standards will also be open to developers, it can be used for any application. Startups how to get you out of a good friend
Google Apps support. Users who use Gmail business functions can use the corresponding function in the Inbox.
Others. You can configure the Inbox, delete information directly when you slide the card, rather than archiving. In addition, it also integrates applications and Keep notes.
For Gmail, developers Conference News is not a new feature, but numbers: 900 million users. Now has 900 million users to the mail service, but less than half of 2012. In addition, the three-fourths of the 900 million people at least occasionally used mobile Gmail.
Google does not seem to want to use the Inbox instead of Gmail, which I don't know how to use the Inbox to make money, but Gmail has become a source of advertising revenue. Google product manager Alex Gawley said the two mail services will co-exist, Gmail for traditional users, and the goal of Inbox is messages used in the mobile age. Everyone has their own way using mail, it's hard to change. Only when people feel the need to change, they will embrace the new modes of use, where Google has been prepared.
