One can send or unsend or recall messages from both a browser or the Gmail app. 

 

 

You might already be aware of this. When you send an email, an Undo button appears on the screen, which will be visible for 30 seconds max if you have set the timer in the settings.

 

 

How to recall or unsend an email on Gmail

 

Step 1: If you decide you don’t want to send an email, you have a short time after to cancel it. Right after you send a message, you can retract it.

 

Step 2: In the bottom left, you’ll see “Message sent” and the option to “Undo” or “View message”.

 

Step 3: Click Undo.

 

Once you press on the Undo button, the email will get canceled.

How to choose an amount of time to recall a message

 

Step 1: On your computer, go to Gmail.

Step 2: In the top right, click Settings Settings and then See all settings.

Step 3: Next to “Undo Send,” select a Send cancellation period of 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds.

 

 

Do keep in mind that if you press any other option on Gmail, the Undo button will immediately disappear as the page will be refreshed.

 

Google even offers you a confidential mode in Gmail, which is a great option. So, if you enable this mode, recipients won’t have the option to forward, copy, print, or download the email
