Gmail annoys users with ads between emails

Numerous users of Google’s email service Gmail complain about advertisementswho are in the middle of her E mail history be played out. The ads appear in the desktop version between the emails in the inbox. They are only marked with a small graphic in the “Ad” stands. Previously, Google had clearly separated advertisements from the email history and were mostly displayed at the top of the page. In the mobile version, they are displayed in the “Updates” filter in the inbox.

In any case, affected users are anything but enthusiastic, as numerous postings on Twitter show. It is said that the difference between advertisements and e-mails is becoming increasingly difficult to discern. “This should be illegal,” writes another user. Another tweet speaks of a “crappy experience”.

Some users also complained about seeing more ads in Gmail in general.

The ads are not displayed to all Gmail users, but only to a small number. On request from 9to5Google Google said it was “experimenting” with new placements and formats. That they will soon be extended to all accounts should not be feared for the time being.
