How To Send A Secure Email In Gmail

wccftech.com:

Gmail is one of the email apps that almost everyone uses for all the right reasons. The app is simple and super easy to understand. The interface is neat and clean, you do not get lost in finding your emails, and the search itself is super intuitive. Aside from receiving emails, I also regularly send emails using the app on my phone. Recently, I discovered that you could actually send a secure email in Gmail, which I found impressive.

But why would you want to send a secure email in Gmail to begin with? Well, there are a lot of reasons behind that. For instance, if I am sharing sensitive documents with someone and want to be sure that someone random does not get access to the email, I would want the email to be secure. That is why when certain banks send you your bank statements, the statements are often password protected with a password texted to you.

Gmail works on a similar principle and does have some additional benefits. For instance, sending an email in confidential mode will prevent the readers from forwarding, copying, printing, or downloading the email. So, if you want an added layer of security, it is there. Let's have a look at how you can send a secure email in Gmail. It is very easy.

Now, if you are looking to send a secure email in Gmail, the process is simple and will not confuse you. However, by default, the Confidential Mode is turned off, so you will have to turn it off, make some adjustments, and you are good to go.

Step 1: On your iPhone or Android, open the Gmail app.

Step 2: Press the Compose button on the bottom right corner.

Step 3: Now press the three-dot button on the top right corner and choose Confidential mode.

Step 4: Make adjustments to the settings you want and hit Save. 

That's it, folks. You
