Gmail on iOS: Show notifications only for high-priority emails

What’s changing: Notifications are only useful if you have time to read them – and if you're notified hundreds of times a day, chances are you won't want to read them anymore. That's why Google is introducing a new feature to Gmail on iOS: send notifications only when important emails arrive in your inbox, so you know when you really need to pay attention.

These notifications are built on Gmail's machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to identify messages you might want to read first. To enable this feature, select “High priority only” from the drop-down menus in the Notifications section of the Gmail app settings menu (for iOS devices).

Now available on iOS and coming to Android soon, Google hopes this new feature will make Gmail notifications useful – not just annoying notification sounds.
