Through a new update, Gmail begins to add more options to iOS Focus mode , an exclusive feature of the iPhone operating system that has not yet reached all users, although it is worth explaining a little about what this functionality is about.
The Focus mode or Focus mode is a feature that came with iOS 15 and allows iPhone users to configure certain modes on the phone regarding the arrival or not of notifications, the intention that calls come in or restrict them, etc.
There are already some presets in the system, such as “Work”, “Do not disturb”, “Driving” and some others, although the user can create his own, where he will determine which apps he wants to continue receiving notifications from, who he wants to call him, when you want to activate it and so on.
More options for Gmail
The novelty lies in the fact that, in the case of the Gmail app, the Focus Mode of iOS will allow expanding the possibilities, until now it is only possible to establish whether or not in a certain mode we want notifications to arrive and that they are hidden in the locked screen.
There are no more options beyond that, however, Google is already launching an updated version of the Gmail and Google Chat app that allows us to choose which people we want to receive notifications about when we have some Focus mode activated .
When users have a new version of the apps, in any of the focus modes you could determine whether to receive notifications about an email from X person and not from the rest , because until now you can remove all notifications or leave them.
In other words, you can currently only completely silence Gmail and Google Chat or receive all notifications , regardless of the sender of the mail, and what is intended with this new feature is that the user can filter the notifications they receive a little more.
Google affirms that Gmail support for iOS Focus mode with more options is available, the truth is that it is coming little by little, when you have it you will be able to establish which people and contacts from Gmail and Google Chat receive notifications and which ones not .
