You no longer have to open boring emails, they can be marked as read in Gmail directly from the notification

If you receive a lot of emails with information that can be determined from the notification preview, it probably annoys you that you still have to open the app and view the email or manually mark it as read so it doesn’t show as unread on the Gmail icon. In a near update, Google will allow you to mark an email as read directly from the notification.

I myself receive a lot of similar emails. Whether they are offers for various discounts that I don’t want to unsubscribe from, but I don’t need to read them completely. Another example is reports that come from various services, such as a backup power source. The last example I will give is emails from e-shops. If I shop somewhere regularly, I know that every purchase is accompanied by several pieces of information that I don’t want to delete, but there is no need to read them in detail.

And here comes the novelty we can look forward to in the Gmail app. Google is testing the display of the Mark as read action directly in the notification. Currently, only Archive and Reply are available. The novelty appeared for a few users who are using the latest version of the app. However, for most, the new feature did not appear, so it probably depends on multiple factors and Google is only conducting limited testing.
