Read MoreHide Full Article
Alphabet’s (GOOGL - Free Report) division Google is leaving no stone unturned to enhance its web email service offerings via Gmail with feature enhancements in a bid to bolster presence in the e-mail client market further.
This is evident from the company’s latest move to update Gmail’s Smart Compose feature which aids in autocompleting sentences in the mail. This in turn saves users from typing over a billion characters and words each week.
Per the latest update, the feature is now capable of adapting user’s writing pattern and composing mails accordingly. Moreover, Smart Compose will now be able to suggest a subject line as per the content of the mail.
Apart from this, Google unveiled a new feature called e-mail scheduling that enables users to schedule an e-mail to be sent later on a future date.
These robust features on Gmail have been introduced to celebrate the completion of 15 successful years since its launch in 2004.
Move to Aid Growth
Gmail which has already gained popularity among users is likely to gain further traction on the back of these robust features, availability and accessibility.
Google has made the Smart Compose feature available on all the Android devices and will be coming on iOS devices soon.

Additionally, e-mail scheduling feature is likely to benefit society immensely by bolstering digital wellness. With this feature, corporate officials do not have to wait till the time the e-mail need to be sent.
All these benefits are likely to expand user base of Gmail which in turn will strengthen Google’s position in the e-mail service space.
Google’s vast search platform and strengthening artificial intelligence (AI) skills will continue to aid its competitive position in the rapidly growing worldwide e-mail client market against the likes Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) , Apple (AAPL - Free Report) and Yahoo.
