How to Use Package Tracking in Gmail for Android
If you often order online, keeping track of each package’s shipping status can be a pain. Thankfully, Gmail offers a feature that lets you track shipments from your inbox—so you don’t have to click any links or install a third-party app.
Let’s look at how to enable Package Tracking in Gmail, and how this feature works.
Enabling Gmail to Track Packages for You
While Google announced this feature in November 2022, you’d be forgiven for missing it since the option is disabled by default. To enable Gmail’s Package Tracking feature, follow these steps:
What to Expect After Package Tracking Is Enabled
After enabling the Package Tracking feature, Gmail extracts shipping info from tracking numbers in your email and displays the status of those packages in the inbox. You’ll see this in a text below each email, indicating the expected delivery date.
Currently, this feature is only available in the Gmail app for mobile devices. However, Google has confirmed that this feature will be available in the web app in the future. Google also aims to prioritize emails related to delayed packages, ensuring they’re displayed at the top of your inbox and reducing the likelihood of you missing essential updates on your shipments.
A Simpler Way to Track Packages
The addition of this feature in Gmail has greatly simplified the package tracking process for online shoppers, making it easier than ever to find out when your next delivery is due. This feature should also help to protect shoppers from phishing scams, by reducing how often you need to click on email links or installing third-party apps to track packages.
Now you can track your packages effortlessly, and easily plan your day around scheduled deliveries.
