Google is releasing its eagerly awaited overhaul of Gmail today (Apr. 25), with new features like the ability to access your calendar from your inbox and view attachments without opening an email thread. It’s rolling out gradually throughout the day.
The world’s most popular email service is getting a big overhaul today. Google is making official the changes we saw leaked earlier this month, with email snoozing, nudging, and confidential mode making their debut alongside a substantial visual redesign for Gmail on the web. The new Gmail begins a global phased rollout today, which is to say that it won’t be available to every one of Gmail’s 1.4 billion users right away, and the first to get it will be invited to opt in rather than being able to just turn it on themselves.

Google releases several new features for its Gmail update, including scans through your emails to help with convenience and security. Some are there for good.

Considering how much data Google has on its users -- which often exceeds data collected from Facebook -- the new features' scans might not be worth giving up your privacy. This debate arises as Facebook deals with a firestorm over how it handles user data, which has forced people to reassess how our data is being collected and used.
The redesign is mainly for the web version of Gmail. But some features like smart replies and the upcoming confidential mode will work for mobile and web, and others, like high-priority notifications, will just be for mobile.
