Google Gmail is synonymous with free email, due to the message managing platform’s spectacular popularity. Part of Gmail’s success is due to regular updates, offering new functions and refreshing the interface. But one of these features, Gmail Nudges, is proving an unwelcome addition.
What are Gmail Nudges?
Gmail Nudge is intended to be a helpful hint for users to respond to emails.
The Gmail Nudges feature places forgotten back at the top of the Inbox.
Anyone who has installed the overhauled email service has Gmail Nudge automatically activated.
The free service uses cutting-edge tech to trawl for emails you may have forgotten to reply to or follow-up on.
This feature has proved a god-send to those with cluttered inboxes after receiving large quantities of email.
But although the idea is fine, many users have developed their own way of working and Gmail Nudges has quickly become an annoyance for many.

How to deactivate Gmail Nudges:
Gmail Nudges is an easy simple feature to disable on the platform’s desktop version.
Begin by opening your browser window and go to Gmail.
Then head to the Gmail Settings menu where you will find a Nudge option.
Click on the Settings icon, which resembles a cog on the right side of the main pane.
Two options are on by default: Suggest Emails to Reply to and Suggest Emails to Follow up on, and users can select which to switch off.
How to deactivate Gmail Nudges in Android:
Open Gmail on your Android phone then tap on the three-lines icon in the top left corner.
Then from the drop-down menu, head the bottom and tap on Settings.
Next select your account, then scroll until you arrive at the Gmail Nudges section.
This opens a new page, again with two options: Suggest Emails to Reply to and Suggest Emails to Follow Up on, each accompanied by its own tickbox.
The complete the process by un-ticking the boxes to stop the Nudges function.

Google Gmail has also introduced native offline support for Chrome users.
This allowing Chrome users to use basic features of the Web client without requiring internet access.
The new Gmail feature comes with several artificial intelligence-based features including Smart Reply, email snoozing, and more.
Gmail now also includes certain privacy-focused features like a new Confidential mode, a revamped risk warning, and the ability to unsubscribe from newsletters with the click of a button.
