Gmail has released a new feature that will show you when a package is arriving, just in time for the holidays.
According to a blog post from Google, over the next few weeks, Gmail will be able to show you a simple and helpful view of your package tracking and delivery information in your inbox rather than having you go through all your messages looking for them.
Google said that Gmail will have a prominent display for your current delivery status at the top of individual emails and at your inbox list view. The package tracking will be able for all major U.S. shipping carriers such as FedEx, UPS, the United States Postal Service and more.
Gmail will provide package status with labels like “arriving tomorrow”, “delayed delivery” or “delivered today,” according to CNBC.
According to CNBC, the option for Gmail to show your tracking status won’t be by default. Google will have a pop-up that will allow you to choose if you want the status updates or not. You can also turn off status notifications if you decide you no longer want them.
It’s one way to make sure your package tracking is one less thing you need to worry about this holiday season.
