Search engine giant Google has announced a new feature that would allow users to track product delivery status in the Gmail app.
“With the holiday season quickly approaching, it won’t be long before your inbox is filled with more order and shipment confirmations, tracking numbers, and even the occasional delay notice. So this year , Gmail is introducing new features to help you save time and stay on top of all your sendings,” said Ilya Brown, vice president of product at Gmail.
Users when they order a product and receive the confirmation note in Gmail. The latter offers a choice: Track your packages in Gmail and you can allow or reject them.

If you allow it, Gmail will automatically look up order status with your tracking numbers and display them in your inbox. Additionally, users can opt-out at any time through their Gmail settings.
