How to Send Email by Phone on Gmail

Sending email by phone on Gmail is convenient for users who are traveling or need to send a picture on their device. I personally prefer the Gmail app to check my email updates and send quick replies to important messages.

You can compose an email, attach files or schedule an email using the Gmail app on phone. Besides, sending email by switching between multiple email accounts is way more easier on phone.

Send Email in a Confidential Mode

If you are sending very sensitive or private content to any recipient, you can send it in a confidential mode.

To maintain confidentiality, you can also generate an SMS passcode to prevent any possible breaching of the content. You can set the expiration date for the emails if you send them in this mode.

1. Compose your regular email.
2. Tap on More.
   
3. Select Confidential mode.
   
4. Expand Set expiration and choose expiry date.
   
5. Expand the Require passcode and select the passcode option.
