Google Workspace Changes

Advanced anti-phishing and malware protection settings added to the Admin console.

Google has introduced new security settings in the Gmail Admin console under Apps > G Suite > Gmail > Safety to protect against phishing and malware. These updates include protections against encrypted attachments and scripts from untrusted senders, identification of shortened URLs, scanning of linked images, and various spoofing protections (similar domain names, employee names, and unauthenticated emails). While most settings are disabled by default for existing customers, 'Identify links behind shortened URLs' and 'Scan linked images' will be automatically enabled on April 4, 2018.

Inbox types are now supported in the Gmail app for Android.

Gmail is bringing inbox sorting options—including unread first, important first, starred first, and priority inbox—to the Android app. Users can now sync their web inbox configuration to Android or change the inbox type directly within the Android app settings, which will then reflect across web and iOS platforms.
