- Updates to Interface, spring 2022: Google will start rolling out a new "integrated view" to Gmail on Feb 22, 2022. It will be optional until approximately June 2022.
- Instead of seeing Mail, Chat, Spaces and Meet all lined up on the left with a short section for your labels (if you've left those default settings), you will see each of those apps to the left of whichever app you are in.
 Image Added Google provided this example.
- Contacts
- To view your contacts, click on the Apps Grid (the box of 9 small squares by your profile picture) and find Contacts in the list of Google Apps.
- Interact with emails directly from your inbox
- Without opening an email, you can choose to Archive, Delete, Mark as Read, or Snooze the message directly from the inbox.
- Snooze emails
- You can hide a message from your inbox until a set date and time using the Snooze feature. Read more about Snoozing an email here.
- Please note: You have to have conversation view turned on in order to use the Snooze feature.
- Nudges
- Nudges will bring an email to the top of your inbox with a suggestion to reply (to an email you haven't responded to) or follow up (on an email you sent which hasn't received a response). Read more about turning off nudges here.

- Google Apps Integration in the Sidebar
- Google has been expanding the number of apps you can view to the right of your inbox window. Currently, you can access Calendar, Keep, Tasks, or Contacts by clicking on the small corresponding icon. Google Maps is supposed to be added to this list in the near future.
To learn more about the options that are available - like snoozing an email, using Smart Reply, and viewing your Calendar or Tasks - we suggest this Help Center article or this video from Teacher's Tech. *Image from https://www.howtogeek.com/356781/the-8-best-features-in-the-new-gmail/ |
