Undo Send: How To Unsend Emails That Have Been Sent on Gmail

Do you often send regret emails? Ops, we mean sorry after sending the email. Whether it’s because of entering the recipient’s email incorrectly, forgetting to attach the file, writing someone’s name wrong or whatever it is that makes you regret immediately after clicking “send”“. An instant step to eliminate the regret click is now brought back by Gmail.

For Gmail users, an old feature in Gmail Labs, Undo Send, was recently added to Gmail’s inbox app. This feature can be found in the web version of Gmail as an official feature. Now you can make sure that the email sending error will never be seen by anyone but yourself. Here’s how to use Undo Send in Gmail.

Step 1 – Enable Undo Send

Go to section Gmail settings and find on tab “general” Undo Send option. Click option Enable Undo Send, then select the send cancellation period from 5 to 30 seconds. The selected time will determine how long you have to undo immediately after sending the message. Last click “Save Changes” in the below section.

If you can’t find the Undo Send option on the “general” tab, you can first go to the “Labs” tab. Look for the Undo Send application, select enable, and click “Save Changes”.

Step 2 – Use Undo to Unsend Email

When you finish sending an email, a mini dialog box will appear on the screen with options. Just click Undo and your email will never appear in anyone’s inbox. ️
