Earlier this year, Google introduced redesigned Gmail with lots of new features including Confidential Mode. Now this Confidential Mode is being rolled out to Gmail for Android starting today. You don’t need to update the app, just have a look in the menu.
Confidential emails are the emails that self-destruct after a given length of time. These email will appear like a regular email in Gmail but for non-Google email, these emails will get a link to open the email in a secure web portal.
