Learn how smart features use your Gmail, Chat and Meet content and activity

Smart feature settings govern the degree of personalisation that you want. You can always turn smart features in Gmail, Chat and Meet on or off in your settings. When smart features are on, your data may be used to improve these features.

When you turn on smart features, you can do things like:

• Sort and filter emails into inbox categories in Gmail.
• Get predictive writing suggestions when you compose a message in Chat.
• Track an upcoming order using summary cards in Gmail.

When you turn off smart features, you can't use the experiences like those listed above in Gmail, Chat and Meet until you turn them on again. However, some smart features with individual on or off settings are still available. These features don't use opted-out user data to improve the models that power them. Some examples include:

• Conversation summaries in Gmail and Chat
• Smart Reply in Chat

If you use Google Workspace and other Google products like Maps or Wallet, changes to Gmail, Chat and Meet smart feature settings don't affect your existing control over smart feature settings in those products.
