Your Gmail account will soon look a little bit different as the company finally rolls out its long-expected makeover to all users.
In a bid to offer users a more complete Google Workspace experience, the updated Gmail will now provide not just email services, but video conferencing and chat options, all in a single location.
Users won't have to do anything to activate the new-look Gmail, which will be updated by default over the next few days to users across the world in a bid to help modernize the platform.
New-look Gmail
Em um artigo do Google Workspace update post (abre em uma nova guia) , the company has confirmed that the new look “will become the standard experience for Gmail, with no option to revert to the original UI”.
News of the facelift was first announced in February 2022, as part of a move to bring other Google Workspace services such as Chat and Meet closer to Gmail.
Most Gmail users were able to try out the new look service in November 2022, but retained the option to revert back to the “original view” at any time.
From today, this will no longer be possible, with users fixed to the new design – although Google does note that users can change their Gmail theme, inbox type, and more through the quick settings menu.

The change may seem quite drastic to some Gmail users, who will still see emails displayed front and centre, but shifted significantly over to the right-hand side of the display to make way for a new sidebar on the left side that contains quick links to Chat, Spaces and Meet, shiftndo suas pastas de e-mail e opções de rótulos um pouco.
Away from the more integrated links with Meet and Chat, users will also see a new right sidebar which has shortcuts to other Google services like Calendar, Tasks, and Keep, without them having to open up extra tabs or windows.
A empresa acrescenta que você também verá todas as suas notificações em um só lugar, com bolhas sinalizando quando você tiver uma nova mensagem ou bate-papo para interagir.
Ele estará disponível para todas as contas de usuário do Google Workspace (exceto clientes do Google Workspace Essentials), bem como para clientes do G Suite Basic e Business.
