A Google you are upgrading some features on your e-mail platform-the gmail. According to the information, the American company is testing a tool that will have confidential emails with an expiration date.
The tool should work like ProtonMail's self-destructive emails (created by the scientific research center CERN), after the deadline chosen by the sender - hours, days, years or never - the email will disappear from the outbox of the sender and the recipient's inbox.
This novelty of Gmail, which is not yet available to users, is framed in a radical change that Google plans to implement soon and that will radically change this email service.
It will also be possible to condition the reading of the e-mail to the confirmation of the recipient's identity, with a password sent by SMS on the mobile phone. In the tests done by the Techcrunch website, a warning appeared in the inbox: “This message was sent via Gmail confidential mode. You can open it by clicking on this link to [email protected]. "To read the email, the tool asks the recipient to confirm their Google account. It is unclear if the message will be encrypted.
All these measures are very interesting and promise an increase in the security of Gmail. Google will be releasing them soon to ensure further evolution of your email service.
O gmail is one of the most popular email services in the world. It was acclaimed for its simplicity, robust and with a good set of features and usability. The service has a Web client and applications for Android e iOS, but the web client interface has not been updated for years.
