After six years, the 'Undo Send' of Gmail is finally becoming beta

There is something that happened to all of us: you have completed an e-mail, you click send and suddenly you realize you've made a typo, or you are doomed in the wrong recipient. Or it's possible you angry when you wrote it. For Gmail users, there is a characteristic rather quiet so far, known as the "Undo Send".

This feature does exactly what its name suggests: it allows you to stop sending e-mail for a short period after the dispatch. Of course, it will not delete the email in the mailbox of the receiver, but it will simply block the mail for a short period sufficient to allow you to evaluate your regrets. This is a great lifeline. This feature is actually available since March 2009, but it was previously hidden in the "Labs" of Gmail settings.

Today, she finally emerged out of this tab. "Undo Send" will soon be added as a "formal framework" for the Web version of Gmail, Google announced in a publication on the blog of Google App Updates.


The Gmail web application is not the only place where this feature can be found. Google Inbox, unveiled last year, had his own feature since launch. Many third-party messaging applications offer this feature, but for those who use the Web client, it is nice to see that the feature is now officially supported.

If you have not activated, it will remain disabled by default. To activate it, simply go to Gmail settings, and in the "General" tab, check the box "Enable cancel sending." You will also be able to define the term cancellation of the shipment. If you've used the Labs version of the feature, it will remain enabled by default.

The feature started being deployed since the beginning of the week, and should be available for most people today.
