”Inbox-funktioner kan överleva i Gmail-appen”

Google avslöjade förra året att man kommer att lägga ned sin experimentella e-post-app Inbox, som använts som ett slags testplattform för funktioner som ibland senare kommit att lanseras i den ordinarie appen för Gmail. Och nedstängningen börjar nu närma sig, då Inbox försvinner i slutet av mars. Men många av de funktioner som gjort appen populär ser nu ut att vara på väg till den ordinarie Gmail-appen istället. Det rapporterar Phone Arena. Det är en skärmdump som påstås komma från ett internt Gmail-test hos Google som visar att bland annat möjligheterna att gruppera och nåla fast mejl verkar stå i begrepp att rullas ut till Gmail-appen.

 
Inbox by Gmail
Wikipedia (en)
Inbox by Gmail is an email service developed by Google. Announced in limited invitation-only basis on October 22, 2014, it was officially released to the public on May 28, 2015. Available on the web, and through mobile apps for Android and iOS, Inbox by Gmail aims to improve email productivity and organization through several key features. Bundles gather emails of the same topic together, highlights surface key details from messages, and reminders, assists, and snooze functionality enable users to control when specific information appears. Updates to the service have enabled an undo send feature, a "Smart Reply" feature that automatically generates short reply examples for certain emails, integration with Google Calendar for event organization, previews of newsletters, and a "Save to Inbox" feature that lets users save links for later use. Inbox by Gmail has received generally positive reviews. At its launch, it was called "minimalist and lovely, full of layers and easy to navigate". Its features were deemed helpful in finding the right messages, and one reviewer noted that the service "feels a lot like the future of email". However, it also received criticism, particularly for a low density of information, algorithms that need tweaking, and that the service requires users to "give up the control" on organizing their own email, meaning that "Anyone who already has a system for organizing their emails will likely find themselves fighting Google's system". Google noted in March 2016 that 10% of all replies on mobile originated from Inbox's Smart Reply feature. In September 2018, Google announced it would end the service in March 2019. Google called Inbox "a great place to experiment with new ideas" and noted that many of those ideas had now migrated to Gmail. The company said that going forward, it wanted to focus its resources on a single email system.
