You can now pretend you’re working thanks to email scheduling in Gmail
August 12, 2025
Believe it or not, butGmailwas first announced 15 years ago on July 30, 2025. It was pretty revolutionary for the time thanks to its massive 1GB storage limit for each user.
Now, Google has marked the 15th anniversary of its email service by announcing thatemail schedulingis coming to the platform. You simply need to open a draft or create a new message, then tap thethree dot menu > Schedule sendon your smartphone. From here, you’re able to choose several suggested times or customize your own sending time (as seen in the featured image). So if you don’t want to interrupt someone’s weekend or want to pretend you’re hard at work at 2AM, this seems like a handy addition.
The company has also confirmed that Smart Compose is now available in French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Furthermore, it’s coming to Android phones at large as well as iOS, having been a Pixel-exclusive feature at first.
Google also revealed another Smart Compose-related tweak, as it said that the feature will now personalize suggestions. An example given by the Mountain View company is if you prefer to say “Ahoy” in your greetings, instead of “hello” or “hi,” you can set that up. Additionally, Gmail will now suggest a subject line based on the email you’re writing.
These changes come a few days after Google announced that its AMP tech is coming to Gmail. This so-calleddynamic emailsfeature will allow users to conduct complex tasks within an email rather than visiting a website, such as filling out forms and responding to events.
The features also come a day before Google is apparently due toshut down its Inbox app. Users have reportedly received notifications from the search giant, warning them that Inbox will close on April 2, and directing them to use Gmail instead.
