Gmail is definitely one of the best email services; it offers reliable, trustworthy, and secure email from one of the internet’s biggest companies.

Anybody who utilizes Gmail for office via Google Workspace, On the other hand, is familiar with the torture of seeing out-of-office emails from your employer appear on the display and disrupt your peace. 

Google, on the other hand, is paying notice and it has recently issued an update for Gmail that works with Apple’s new Focus mode for iOS, which is one of the best features for getting some virtual peace and quiet. 

The idea is similar to Android’s notification profiles, which allow you to quiet specific alerts, apps, and services during different times of the day, like while you’re at home. 

“Once your iOS device is in Focus mode,” Google added, “you now can specifically designate whose Google Chat and Gmail acquaintances you always want alerts from.” Google went on to clarify. “This is great when you really need to minimize time on screen but wouldn’t want to overlook an essential email because other alerts are quiet.” 

Gmail can now interact with these profiles – which are either produced automatically by Apple or modified by the user – to ensure that you receive just the alerts you desire. Emails with no purpose? Gone. Crucial, urgent notifications? Those are accepted. 

The significance of virtual peace 

After the epidemic compelled everybody to work remotely, or at least partly from home, achieving some virtual peace became critical. 

If there is no clear separation between the business and the home environment, it is critical to ensure that alerts do not arrive during “you” time. Handling alerts, particularly on iOS prior to the recent update, was a chore. You either had to quiet them all or go into Settings each time. 

With iOS 15, Apple made the procedure a lot simpler, and we highly suggest creating a few distinct Focus profiles to get things started, particularly if you don’t have a company phone that can simply be turned off. The setup can be a pain, but once you’ve gotten over that, it’s extremely straightforward – and ideal for maintaining digital peace of mind without skipping essential updates.
