How to unsend an email in Gmail?
Ever be in a situation where you sent and email to someone and you just wanted to revoke the email so that you could make changes to it or just unsend the email. You can unsend or revoke an email in Gmail.
We now know that WhatsApp also allows us to revoke or delete a sent message but it needs to be done within 7 minutes else we cannot delete it. But, Gmail lets you decide in what time you want the message to be sent or revoked. How to do this? Read below.
Steps to unsend an email:
1. On a Computer desktop or Laptop open Gmail.com in your browser
2. At the top right corner click on the gear icon (Settings)
3. Scroll down to 'Undo Send' and click on the box next to 'Enable Undo Send'.
4. You will now see a 'Send Cancellation Period'. In this section you will need to decide the time you want to unsend or revoke your email.
5. Once it is done click on Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
6. Now after sending an email (Assuming you have composed and sent an email to the recipient).
7. Right after sending a message you will see an information panel stating 'Your message has been sent' and option to 'Undo' the message.
8. If you click on the 'Undo' option the message will be revoked and will not sent to the recipient.
NOTE: Undo isn't available in Android app but you can undo in iPhone or iPad. You will need to have the standard Gmail themeand not the Basic HTML theme to Undo an email.
