Google rolls out new settings for smart features in Gmail

Sentinel Digital Desk

SAN FRANCISCO: Google on Monday said it will further put users in control of their data and the Google experience, with a new setting for smart features and personalisation in Gmail.

Soon, you'll see a new setting for controlling whether your data in Gmail, Meet and Chat can be used to offer "smart" features in these and other Google products.

"Think: tabbed inbox, Smart Compose and Smart Reply in Gmail; reminders when your bills are due in the Google Assistant; and restaurant reservations in Google Maps," said MaalikaManoharan, Product Manager at Google.

The ability to turn on (or not) some of these individual smart features is not new.

"What's new is a clearer choice over the data processing that makes them possible," she said in a statement. (IANS
