All You Need To Know About Google Confidential Mode

Google’s Confidential Mode is the feature that you need to use from now on.

Google Confidential Mode:

The confidential mode in Gmail doesn’t use the standard email protocols to deliver your message to the receiver. The message is hosted on Google’s server. Gmail will be protecting confidential emails on its own. Recipients of your emails will be required to click on a link to view the message in their browser.

This feature is to help you protect sensitive information from being to others accidentally or without your permission. In the confidential mode, you can’t forward, copy, print, or download. Recipients can download the message or any attachments from it.

Below are the things that the senders can do for the confidential mode:

• Set an expiration date for the email
• Cancel the message access anytime
• Ask for verification codes by text to let the recipients open messages

There’s one thing that everyone needs to know is that while the confidential mode stops the messages from being shared with others, it won’t stop recipients from taking screenshots, screen recording, or forwarding them. Also, anyone with malicious software applications can copy and download the messages and the attachments that are present in the messages.
