If you have a free email account, and let’s face it who hasn’t, there’s a high chance that you are using Gmail. It’s one of the best email providers on the planet and we all use it. I love Gmail because it’s free, it’s easy to use, and it’s continually updated with new features. Currently, I am in love with the new confidential mode along with the undo send feature. That said, I know many people are still not using these new features as they are not aware of them.
The reason people are not aware of these features is that there’s no one place to keep track of them. With this article, we want to change that. In this continually updated article, we will list out all the new Gmail updates and the features that come along with it. So, if you want to keep track of all the new Gmail features read along as we show you Gmail changelogs.
Note: If you see the same changelog for multiple versions, it means that the new versions brought bug fixes and improvements to improve the implementation of the said features. It also means no new features were released during those updates.

Every Android device comes with an in-built screen recorder these days. However, in some phones like the Pixel series, you don't get a lot of control over the screen recorder. You can't tweak the screen recording quality, frame rate and other settings. This calls for reliance on third-party screen recording Android apps, like XRecorder, AZ Recorder and Mobizen. These are free too, with only certain features like recording at over 60 FPS being locked behind a paywall.
