Google’s New Inbox App Manages Your E-mails

Inbox app

Several years ago, email was just a service to send and receive personal messages, but now the inboxes are full of different kinds of messages. The messages like newsletters, social network notifications, bills, reminders and invitations are taking up all the area and sometimes this leads to missing important emails or notifications. To take care of this issue, Google’s Gmail team has introduced a new app called Inbox. The app does loads of stuff and manages them in a way that you could easily see what you are looking for and don’t miss any email or notification. It will not replace Gmail in any way it is just an app for Gmail that will help manage your emails in Gmail account.  What the app does is creates bundles of similar types of emails to help users to stay organized. It is same as Gmail’s categories, but expanded.

It will not only create bundles of emails, the app also highlights important information such as event information, flight itineraries and photos / document sent by family and friends. Additionally, it can also add relevant information in a message like status updates on Deliver of package or flight. Users will also be able to set reminders to their priorities. We are still not sure why Google made a separate app for this, though they could have just added the feature into Gmail. If you want to avail this service you will have to send an email to inbox@google.com as it is currently invite-only service.
