Google Rolls out Gmail Confidential Mode
This is a new feature from Google and sure you are going to love it. Google has just rolled out confidential mode; giving your full control over the email you send.
With confidential mode, it’s easier to protect sensitive content in your emails by creating expiration dates or revoking previously sent messages, and removing options for recipients to forward, copy, print, and download.
Not just that, you can also require additional authentication via text message to view an email.
