Gmail’s new “quietly delivered” feature sends emails to your contacts without making a sound or showing any visual notification. This can be handy if you don’t want to disrupt someone’s work flow, but it also means that important messages might go unnoticed.
If you want to make sure that your emails are always delivered to your recipients, you can turn off the “Quietly Delivered” feature in Gmail. This will ensure that an email is only marked as delivered if it is actually delivered to the recipient’s inbox’
how to turn deliver quietly off
1. Open the Gmail app and tap the menu icon in the top left corner.
2. Scroll down and tap Settings.
3. Tap your account name at the top of the screen.
4. Scroll down and tap Notifications.
5. Tap Inbox sound & vibrate.
6. Tap Deliver Quietly to turn the feature off.
Now, your emails will always make a sound and show a notification when they are delivered to your contacts’ inboxes. This way, you’ll never miss an important message again!
Will turning off quietly delivered guarantee that my messages are always delivered
No, turning off quietly delivered will not guarantee that your messages are always delivered. If a contact’s mailbox is full, or if their email server is down, your message will still not be delivered. However, you will at least get a notification that the message was not delivered.
If you want to guarantee that your messages are always delivered, you can use Gmail’s “Priority Inbox” feature. This will send your messages to the recipients’ Priority Inboxes, which are checked more frequently than their regular inboxes. To learn more about Priority Inbox.
How to tell if an email has been quietly delivered in Gmail
If an email has been quietly delivered in Gmail, it will have a small icon next to it in your inbox. This icon looks like a clock with a small zig-zag line next to it.
If you want to make sure that your emails are always delivered to your recipients, you can turn off the “Quietly Delivered” feature in Gmail. This will ensure that an email is only marked as delivered if it is actually delivered to the recipient’s inbox.
