These 3 options that we have been mentioning to you are Google’s new bet to improve its email application. All this forms a plan for the arrival of Google Workspace to all users.

  • The “Chat” option is an instant messaging service similar to any other available in the Play Store in which you can send messages to other users by entering their email account.
  • The Rooms option is Google’s (somewhat different) version of the typical WhatsApp or Telegram group. You can add your contacts to this “Group” by entering their email addresses, and to talk to them you just have to send messages through the chat room and that’s it. You will also be able to assign tasks to the members of the room, so it could be said that it has a more professional or educational approach.
  • The Meetings section is a kind of direct access to Meet . The good thing about this last option is that it allows you to access the Google conferencing app directly from Gmail.

In case you don’t know Google’s video conferencing application, you should know that Meet is an app that allows you to have unlimited meetings through calls or video calls with your acquaintances.

Although this new tab has interesting tools, we know that it can be annoying to get used to the new look of Gmail , especially if you will not use the tools. Therefore, have you already removed the new tab from Gmail?
