Google is integrating artificial intelligence into your Gmail incash, whether you like it or not. From Thursday, it’s an AI -powered “smarter search” layout worldwide, prioritizing what he thinks you want to see most.

If you enter a search term, Gmail will no longer list the related emails in chronological order, from the latest to oldest; Instead, it will list the emails based on its own relevance rankings, which take into account the review, but also the most clicked emails and regular contacts.

‘The most important’ is available for users with personal Google accounts that access their inbox on the web and in the official Gmail app for Android and iOS. Business users will access later. You still have the option to turn off this ‘most relevant’ feature and display ‘most recent’ using the new drop -down menu just below the search bar.

“With this update, the e -mail you are looking for is much more at the top of your search results – which saves you valuable time and help you find easier important information,” Google said in a blog post about Gmail’s upgraded search features.

Will this Gmail update be better received than similar Mail -Dapping changes?

The fact that the Google announcement opens with ‘If you have ever struggled to find information in your over -shopping inbox, you are not alone’ is quite ironic. The search functions in both Gmail and Outlook incashes have been a controversy for years. Users complain that they find it difficult to find emails even if they use hyper-specific search terms.

However, Apple recently made a similar change to the Mail app with the iOS 18 update on mixed reactions. The categories of Inbox layout have four tabs: primary, transactions, updates and promotions. Mail decides in which category each email falls, with the most important which contains most important and acts as the standard category.

Users complained that if Mail mistakenly viewed an important email as a newsletter or payment receipt, they would miss it, especially since it was difficult to see when new email was received in other categories other than primary. Gmail may experience similar groms if its AI decides whether ‘ne post is relevant or not, independent of the user.

Gmail’s bigger AI push goes beyond search

This is not the only AI feature that Google has added to Gmail over the past few months. Users can talk to Google’s chatbot, Gemini, about the contents of their inbox or an answer. They can also use twins to add events directly from ‘Ne post to a Google calendar.

In October, Gmail ‘Summary Cards’ launched which appeared above an open email and enabled users to perform related actions directly within their inbox. This includes tracking packages, check -in for flights and paid accounts.
