You Can Now Schedule Emails in Gmail; Here’s How to Use It

If you were one of the many Inbox by Gmail users who had to switch over to Gmail after the app was killed off by Google, chances are, one of the many things you miss from your Inbox days is the ease of scheduling emails on Inbox. Well, fortunately, Google has now started rolling out the feature on the Gmail app and website as well.

The feature works pretty much how you’d expect it to work. You can write your email whenever you want, and schedule it to be sent at a later date and time of your choosing. This can come in very handy for people looking to send birthday greetings on time, but who keep forgetting. Anyway, here’s how to use the feature on the Gmail app on Android, and on the Gmail web app.

Google is clearly trying to make the Gmail experience better, and bring it up to what Inbox offered (in some ways, if not all), and that’s something I really appreciate. The new features in Gmail are sure to make it handling emails easier for people, and scheduling emails is just a boon for anyone who primarily uses emails for correspondence.
