Gmail gets Undo Send, bombshells can be recalled

Any Gmail user who regrets a message they just sent has the option to undo the action, provided they’re quick enough.

The new Undo Send option allows a message to be retrieved, so long as it’s clicked upon within 30 seconds of the Send command being hit. The idea is to give users a second chance if they catch a mistake or realise they’ve sent a note to the wrong person.

The function has, so far, only been available as an experimental feature. It is still not automatic, availability has to be activated in the settings. Users can opt for the undo function to work for

between five and 30 seconds after the initial send.
