after a two-year hiatus, there’s another deletion process that I wager the vast majority of its 3.45 billion users are unaware of. It is possible to send a private email message using Gmail ’s confidential mode with a user-defined expiration date. What’s more, once the expiration date is reached for the recipient and you delete the original, it will be permanently deleted from your account after 30 days and can't be recovered.
Forwarding, copying, printing and downloading of the email will also be disabled. However, Google makes it quite clear that confidential mode cannot prevent someone from taking a screenshot of an email and forwarding that to someone else or keep for as long as they want. Indeed, Google goes so far as to warn that malware “.” So it’s far from a truly confidential solution, but perhaps best thought of as a simple privacy-protecting mechanism for sensitive emails.
There are some differences in how a recipient deals with confidential mode messages depending upon whether they use Gmail or another email provider. Gmail users just open the email as normal while non-Gmail users open the email, click on a link to view the message and are taken to a page where they must enter their Google account credentials to access it.Gmail’s confidential mode doesn’t delete messages from both the recipient and sender perspectives by default.
If you opted for access verification by a code, you must add the recipient’s mobile number after hitting send.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations. We want our readers to share their views and exchange ideas and facts in a safe space.
