Gmail users can segregate emails by category, making it easier to differentiate between various types of emails. These categories include primary, which has person-to-person conversations, promotional emails, and social media notifications. Users can configure additional categories such as updates and forums to sort emails containing receipts, bills, statements, and messages from online groups.

By enabling this feature, each email you send from Gmail on your phone will have a signature by default. You may include contact details, position, and more. One can add a custom signature to Gmail via the settings menu.

Enable smart compose, smart reply

By enabling smart compose and smart reply, Gmail will offer predictive writing suggestions while composing a new email. It will also suggest replies to certain emails. Once enabled, drafting an email gets a lot easier, and based on the requirement, the suggested text can be tweaked.

Want to avoid responding to every official email when you are on vacation? Configure an out-of-office auto-reply on the Gmail app by entering details like the first day, last day, subject, and message. You can also enable the ‘send to my contacts only’ option if you wish to notify people in your contact list.
