Google rolled out a new Purchases tab in Gmail to help users keep track of deliveries, and an update to the Promotions tab ahead of the busy shopping season.
Google on Thursday announced two updates for the Gmail experience that users might appreciate, including a new Purchases tab that will start rolling out on the web and the Gmail mobile apps to users with personal Google accounts. The Promotions tab has also received an update to make it easier for users to see the most relevant deals and promotional information from the brands they receive emails from. This feature will start rolling out in the coming weeks.
Seen in the screenshots below, the new Purchases tab comes to Gmail ahead of the busy shopping season, according to a Google blog post. Coincidentally, the busy shopping season starts this week for a specific category of consumers who might use personal Google accounts: Apple customers. Google isn’t targeting Apple buyers with the new Gmail Purchases tab, but the new feature might let them track Apple deliveries in the coming days.
