Learn about Gmail's Undo Send feature
Gmail is one of the most used email services in the world. Not only for personal use, Google also offers its email service to companies as part of its Google Workspace service. In addition to a number of eye-catching features, the Gmail service has many options ranging from email filters to Confidential Mode. As a result, it is not possible for everyone to know these features. In today's report we will talk about a feature of Gmail that allows users to quickly block any message that is accidentally sent. Simply put, if a user accidentally sends a message to his boss, coworker, friend, or other family member, arrangements can be made so that it does not reach him. This feature is called Undo Send, which is available to all Gmail users on both desktop and smartphone.
Email is something that, once sent, lasts a lifetime. As a result, the number of users who have regretted sending emails by mistake is not small. For example, suppose you quickly send an email as a job application and there are some typing mistakes left. But since the arrow is out of hand, there is no way to bring it back! As a result, there is a possibility of getting a bad impression in the workplace from the very beginning. But the above features of Gmail will help you avoid such embarrassing situations, but you will need to make some changes to your email settings.
If you don't want to send an email even after you press the send button, Google usually gives users a grace period of five seconds before sending an email to the sender. But this 5 second time by default is very short, so many users are unable to find and press the undo button in this short time. All you need to do to solve this problem is to increase the timer to "Undo Sending" an email, so that you have a little more time to stop the email quickly.
Follow the steps below to change and increase the undo send timer on your desktop or laptop computer.
Step 1. Click the gear icon at the top of your Gmail inbox, then click "See all settings".
Step 2. Now find the General tab, then the ‘Undo Send’ setting. Choose the appropriate timer from this list. 20 or 30 seconds can be considered enough in this case.
Step 3. Finally, click the Save Changes button.
