Inbox by Gmail receives new Snooze feature

Google’s Inbox by Gmail may now be available to all but that hasn’t stopped the updates coming. Inbox has just received a tweak to its Snooze options, which makes the system more flexible and convenient.

You are now able to quickly snooze emails and their notifications that contain dates or times until a more appropriate time. The smart thing is that Inbox now offers a quick suggestion, rather than having to set the time yourself. For example, you can snooze emails about products shipping until the day they are due to arrive, or offset emails about a reservation until an hour before you set-off. The little GIF below gives an example of how this feature works.

The simplified Snooze feature is accomplished via a simple one-tap option that automatically offers suggestions for when to snooze until, which is based on the email’s content. The feature should work for the majority of messages regarding package tracking, restaurant and event reservations, calendar invites, flight and hotel reservations, and car rentals.

If you haven’t tried out Inbox already, you can download the app for free from the Play Store with the button below.
