Google added a new feature on its Gmail and Inbox products which will help save some valuable time. Things such as addresses, phone numbers and contacts will now be converted to links in Gmail and Inbox to save time of the users.
“Precious time can be lost by having to copy and paste this information from an email into other apps and websites, so we wanted to provide a better way to perform these tasks that also saves time. That’s why starting today, Gmail and Inbox by Gmail on Android, iOS, and the web will begin converting text to interactive hyperlinks whenever they detect phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses in emails,” said the company in a statement.
For instance, clicking an address link will take the user to Google Maps and clicking an email address will compose a new email, using the user’s default email client. Finally, when using a mobile device, clicking a phone number will start a call request using the default phone app.
