Reminders for Replies and Follow Ups Added to Inbox by Gmail

Google introduced Inbox by Gmail in October 2014. The app is about to hit the three year mark but a majority of users still prefer the classic Gmail app. Inbox is basically a redesigned Gmail which offers not only changes in design, but also some cool new features.

The latest update to the Inbox by Gmail Android app comes today as a new feature now reminds you to follow up on e-mails. Moreover, you will also be reminded to reply to e-mails you might have forgotten about. Let us take a closer look at this new feature in Inbox.

Follow-Up Reminders

This is how the reminder notification appears

Sometimes during an e-mail conversation one tends to miss a beat, especially if either of the parties are getting a lot of mails. While some people intentionally do not reply to e-mails, there are others who might forget due to the hectic pace of the work, or because the mails are buried under a pile of mails.

With this new update to Inbox by Gmail, if you have not received replies on a mail you would be notified with a reminder like: “Sent 4 days ago. Follow up?” This is a really cool feature from Inbox by Gmail.

Reply Reminders

Similar to follow-up reminders, but reverse. Sometimes your inbox might be flooded with e-mails and you might miss replying on an older e-mail. Inbox by Gmail will now remind you if you would like to send a reply to a mail from a few days ago.

How to Enable These Reminders on Inbox by Gmail

Both the features, as seen in the app’s settings.

In order to enable these reminders make sure that your app is updated to the latest version of.
Go to settings, you would find a new section there ‘Assists’. Tap on ‘Replies and Follow-Ups’
Over there you would see two options – ‘Suggest emails to reply to’ and ‘Suggest emails to follow up on’
You can enable or disable the two features individually from there.

This is a good feature from the app which will ensure that the flow of communication is smooth.
