Now that you have enabled a sending delay, you will be able to unsend emails when you realize you’ve made a mistake. You still need to be fairly careful since the maximum delay is only 30 seconds, which doesn’t give you much time to review an email. Still, you should be able to catch a missing attachment or major typo before the email goes through.<\/p>\n

How to unsend a Gmail in the browser inbox<\/h2>\n Let’s look at how to use the unsend feature in Gmail now that you’ve gone through all the effort to set it up. You can use the feature on both mobile and desktop versions of Gmail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To undo sending a Gmail email from a desktop browser, follow these steps after you click Send <\/strong>on your ill-fated email:<\/p>\n\n After you click send<\/strong>a small pop-up in the lower-right corner of the screen confirms that the email is sending along with an undo <\/strong>button. <\/li>\n click the undo <\/strong>button in the pop-up to cancel the email and go back into the editor to correct your mistake.\n\n

In that case, you’ll be familiar with the dread of committing a grammar faux pas because of the unfortunate combination of multitasking, suboptimal autocorrect, or simply clumsy thumb syndrome. You can unsend Gmail emails from Android or iOS as well, and the process is pretty much the same as described above for the desktop version.<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
After you’ve completed your email and pressed Send, you see a small pop-up at the bottom of your screen confirming the email is sending. On the right side of that banner, you’ll see an Undo <\/strong>button. To cancel sending the email, tap the undo <\/strong>button. <\/strong>Undoing sending immediately cancels the email and puts you back in the text editor to make changes before you send it again.<\/p>\n\n

Once the sending banner disappears, you’re out of luck and can’t undo sending the email anymore. It’s always a good idea to act fast if you think you might have made a mistake.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
How to get a longer undo period in Gmail with scheduled send<\/h2>\n If you hope to unsend an email hours after sending it, the regular unsend feature will let you down. Fortunately, there is a workaround for this exact issue. Instead of clicking Send on your email, you can schedule the send, giving you more time to think about what you said and make any changes that might come to you in any potential eureka <\/em>momentum. You can schedule an email in both the mobile and desktop versions of Gmail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
How to schedule an email in Gmail<\/h3>\n If you’re using a desktop browser and want an email to send at a certain time, instead of clicking Send, click the small up arrow <\/strong>to the right of the Send button to expand the Send menu, and follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n in the send <\/strong>menu, click Schedule send <\/strong>to open the Schedule Send options pop-up.\n\n
\n
<\/picture> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n In the pop-up, you can choose from a few default options, or you can click Select date and time<\/strong> to be more specific.

The rest of the process is basically the same as the desktop version.<\/p>\n\n
