Google unveils 'undo send' button so email users can retrieve embarrassing messages


Google yesterday added the ''Undo'' feature to its Gmail platform as the Undo Send feature has moved from Gmail Labs in the Web version of Google’s email service. Labs is where Google adds experimental features, and the most successful of those features eventually get out of there and become actual options in the Gmail Settings.

With this new feature users of Gmail will be given options of Ten, Twenty or Thirty seconds to retrieve emails they wish they had never sent from PC/laptops. To activate this feature users will have to go to general tab of settings for Gmail on their desktop/laptop as seen in the picture below.


After an email has been successfully sent, a thin yellow bar will appear at the top of the screen, giving users the chance to quickly cancel its delivery.

This feature is not yet available for Emails sent on Tablets or Smartphones, only Emails sent from Desktops/Laptops can for now be withdrawn.
