After the arrival of fast parcel tracking on Gmail, another novelty has been launched by Google for its email management application. This time, however, the change is likely to generate the deep discontent of the usersespecially those who use Gmail very often.
According to 9to5Google, Google has started ad increase the number of advertisements on Gmail, making the latter more invasive and, above all, implementing them in the middle of the list of incoming emails in the mail service. This decision, in particular, has prompted many users to criticize Big G, which would have deliberately made it difficult to browse your mailbox and, above all, distinction between “real” emails and advertisements.
Also according to 9to5Google, the new Gmail advertising interface is now in rollout phase for at least two weeks and it has arrived on all the platforms on which the service is available: from the web browser to the mobile apps up to the tablet versions, all Gmail accounts seem to have been affected by an increase in advertising.
On the mobile app, in particular, advertisements appear at the top of the inbox, an area so far ad-free. According to GizmoChina, the ads”make the area seem too dense with content and caused concern among users”. For now, Google hasn’t yet responded to user criticism, while it’s unclear whether a further increase in the number of advertisements on Gmail is coming in the future.
However, it is also possible that Big G’s is just a temporary test of the new adswhich therefore in the next few hours or days could be “abandoned” in favor of a return to a more elegant view of the mailbox.
