Gmail’s AI Inbox Feature With Smart Prioritisation Rolls Out for Google AI Ultra Subscribers in the US

/in /tarafından

Gmail is rolling out its AI-powered Inbox feature to select Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US, expanding on the Gemini-driven updates it introduced earlier this year. The new feature adds a dedicated AI view within Gmail that highlights priority emails, surfaces actionable tasks, and groups less urgent updates into summaries. It is said to be designed to reduce inbox clutter and help users quickly focus on what matters most, building on Google’s broader push to integrate AI more deeply across its email experience.

Gmail’s AI Inbox Feature Splits Email Into Two Sections
Gmail said in an X post that it has introduced an AI-powered Inbox with smart prioritisation and personalised briefings, now rolling out in beta to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US. The new AI Inbox appears as a separate view alongside the traditional inbox and is designed to surface priority information, rather than requiring users to scan individual emails.

The AI Inbox feature splits emails into two sections. While suggested to-dos highlight messages that need action, such as bills, reminders, or deadlines, and show what needs to be done, topics to catch up on cover less urgent updates, grouping things like travel plans, events, and purchases into quick summaries. These appear as interactive cards that link back to the original emails.

AI Inbox was first introduced to a small group of testers in January and is now rolling out in beta. It runs on Gemini 3 and processes data within what Google describes as a dedicated privacy environment. Users can turn off AI features through Gmail settings, and the company says personal Workspace data is not used to train its AI models.

 

Claim That Any Phone Can Be Tracked via Google Maps by Email Is False

/in /tarafından

A viral claim suggesting that anyone can locate a mobile phone simply by emailing Google and using a phone number is inaccurate and misleading, cybersecurity experts say.

Posts circulating online allege that sending an email through Gmail to a specific address can trigger Google Maps to reveal a device’s location, even without internet access. Google does not offer any such service, and there is no official mechanism that allows location tracking of a phone solely via an email request or partial phone number.

Legitimate phone-tracking tools require explicit user consent and account access, such as Google’s “Find My Device” for Android or Apple’s “Find My” for iPhone. These services work only when users are logged in and have location sharing enabled.

Security specialists warn that messages promoting email-based tracking may be linked to scams or data-harvesting attempts. Users who follow such instructions could expose personal information without gaining any real tracking capability.

Authorities and privacy advocates stress that tracking a phone without permission is illegal in many countries. Users are advised to rely only on official tools provided by device makers and to report misleading claims that promise effortless or universal phone tracking.

Google Introduces AI-Driven ‘Most Relevant’ Search Results Feature for Gmail

/in /tarafından

Google has started rolling out a new feature for Gmail that aims to make it easier for users to find the most relevant emails. The new “Most Relevant” search results feature, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), is designed to prioritize important emails rather than simply listing them in chronological order. This update will change the way Gmail displays search results, offering an AI-driven approach to surface emails that are more likely to be of interest or importance to the user. This new sorting option will be available alongside the existing search filters, allowing users to fine-tune their searches even further.

The feature was officially announced by Google in a blog post, confirming its rollout to personal Gmail accounts on the web, as well as the Android and iOS apps. While the tool is initially available to personal account users, Google plans to expand the feature to Business Gmail accounts in the near future. This improvement is aimed at tackling the challenge of navigating through a crowded inbox, which many users face daily. Instead of simply showing emails based on when they were received, Gmail will now leverage AI to highlight those emails that are more likely to be relevant to the user’s current needs.

With this update, Gmail users can now refine their search results with a new dropdown menu. After typing in relevant keywords, users will have the option to select either ‘Most Recent’ or ‘Most Relevant’. If they opt for ‘Most Recent’, Gmail will continue to show results in the traditional chronological order. However, selecting ‘Most Relevant’ will activate the AI-driven system, which will reorder the search results by prioritizing emails based on their relevance, potentially saving time and reducing the effort needed to sift through less important messages.

This new feature is part of a broader push by Google to integrate more AI functionality into its suite of services. For example, Gmail users have already experienced the benefits of Gemini, a feature that can automatically create calendar events based on information found in emails. With the introduction of the ‘Most Relevant’ search sorting, Google continues to enhance its email platform, offering users smarter, more efficient tools to manage their inboxes.
