Back at Google\u2019s big I\/O conference<\/a>\u00a0in May, Google made a small announcement that crept under the radar due to all the other big news. The company said it was going to try and improve Gmail notifications so that you\u2019ll only get the useful ones you need, rather than be\u00a0bombarded by everything that comes into your email inbox.\u00a0 Google has now announced<\/a> that this change is now available on iOS and is coming to Android soon.<\/p>\n

Google claims that these new notifications will use Gmail\u2019s advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to learn which emails you may want to read first. If you\u2019re an iOS Gmail user, Google has laid out the following instructions for you to try out the new high priority email notification setting:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo enable the feature, select \u201cHigh priority only\u201d from the Notifications drop-down in the settings menu of your Gmail iOS app.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For anybody who feels overrun by the constant pings coming from their phone, this will be a great feature. If Google can get this right, there will be a lot of people clicking\u00a0enable. This will be tricky to get right, however, as if it filters out essential emails it will be impossible to use and next to useless. We\u2019ll be trying this new feature out over the next few days to see how it works, and keeping an eye out for an Android release date.<\/p>\n
