That’s the same spam protection that Google says “keeps your private information safe. Gmail works hard to protect you from spam, phishing, and malware, before they reach your inbox. Our AI-enhanced spam-filtering capabilities block nearly 10 million spam emails every minute.” Put simply, you don’t want this suddenly disappearing.

Gmail users reported an unusual issue over the weekend that flooded their primary inbox with promotional emails and suspected spam warnings.

Gmailify is being discontinued this month, ending Gmail’s ability to treat non-Gmail inboxes like native ones.

If you’re seeing a lot more promotional emails in your Gmail inbox, you’re not alone. Google is now reporting that the issue is fixed. Here’s what happened when.

Google Search is adding new features to Personal Intelligence in AI mode, allowing it to pull context from Gmail and Photos so it can answer questions that depend on your own history. The post Google Search can now answer questions using your Gmail and Photos in AI mode appeared first on Digital Trends.

The company notes that AI Mode doesn’t train directly on your Gmail inbox or Google Photos library. Instead, it trains on specific prompts and the model’s responses.

The update also expands Google’s “Help Me Write” tool, which has previously been a premium feature in Gmail but is now being made available to all users. It also gains enhanced tone-matching functionality, Google said, which means it’s capable of mimicking the user’s writing style to make its suggested emails more realistic.

Google believes AI is the future of search, and it’s not shy about saying it. After adding account-level personalization to Gemini earlier this month, it’s now updating AI Mode with so-called “Personal Intelligence.” According to Google, this makes the bot’s answers more useful because they are tailored to your personal context.

Gmailify lets you access features like Google spam protection on a third-party account, whether it's Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or another provider.
