5 Gmail Tips Many Users Don't Know

Destined as the world's technological king, Google has made a great contribution to all inhabitants of planet Earth. Because the company founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin has spoiled the world community with a variety of advanced technologies.

Just say, from search engines, Android operating systems, to a series of other advanced applications. Well! One of the most influential applications made by Google is Gmail. Evidently, until now Gmail is still the main choice for internet users to send e-mail alias electronic mail. Noted, since 2016 Gmail has active users of around 1 billion people and will continue to increase every year as the Android smartphone develops. Because most of the default Android applications require Gmail access rights.

So, are you also one of the people who often use Gmail to correspond? And how often do you do that? If you are a loyal Gmail user, it is obligatory to know the following 5 tips so that e-mail activities are more fun.

Swipe Left-Right For Quick Action

Are you active internet users and often receive messages that enter the Inbox in Gmail? You can be sure that in a day there are many messages that will fill your Inbox. In other words, there are a number of e-mails that you really don't need to read or consider important. By seeing who the sender is and the title of the incoming e-mail, it is enough to explain whether the e-mail is important or not. In this case, the Gmail App presents a swipe feature to execute e-mail quickly. By default, we can move the message left and right to load it into the archive. But we can also change it via "Settings> General Settings> Swipe actions". After that, we can change the fast actions that will be taken, such as deleting, archiving, and so on.

Search For Messages With Detailed Parameters

Sometimes we lose old e-mails that sink because they are stacked by a number of new e-mails. As we know, Gmail also provides a search feature. Basically, we only need to type "sender name" or "title" of the e-mail we are looking for. But apparently the Gmail application developer, in this case, Google has provided a more specific search feature aka pro. How you can search for e-mails you want by using special parameters in the search box.

For example, by typing older_than: 1y, you can search e-mail a year ago. Or you can also type older_than: 1d to display incoming e-mail a day ago. Not only that, of course, there are many special parameters that you can use.

Clarify And Beautify The E-mail That Will Be Sent

To convey information to others, we must write messages clearly, easy to understand and interesting to read. If you send an e-mail using Gmail, all that can be done more easily. For this reason, the Gmail App provides a number of text formats to enrich its appearance. Starting from the text bold, italic, underline, everything is available intact. In addition, you can also beautify e-mail sent by colored text.

Save Space

The Gmail application continues to synchronize. If this process runs too often, this will certainly narrow the storage space on your device. Especially if in a day, you receive dozens of e-mails that enter the Inbox. It's a good idea to make arrangements so that the storage capacity inside the smartphone isn't fast full of e-mails. For that, set the time period of synchronization through the "Settings" menu. That way, your storage won't fill up quickly.

Send Money Or Pay Bills

Maybe this one feature is available for quite a long time for the Gmail Web version. But, for the Gmail App, this feature is still fairly new. Yes! This is Gmail's breakdown with Google Wallet to present the e-mail send money feature. That sounds really interesting. Unfortunately, until now, this feature only applies to the United States. But we think it is possible that in the near future, Google will release this Gmail payment feature for other countries, including Indonesia. So, we just wait!
