It’s not easy to keep track of all online purchases in Gmail. That’s why Google is finally introducing a new view that neatly consolidates all order information.
New Overview for Purchases and Deliveries in Gmail
In the future, users will no longer have to search through individual emails for information about their orders. Gmail now displays all purchase-related information and delivery updates in a consolidated view as a simple list.
The email service already has several features to keep track of purchases. Packages arriving within 24 hours will still appear at the top of the inbox and as a compact card within order emails. These features will remain–the new list is an additional feature.
In addition to upcoming deliveries, users can now keep track of all their purchases in Gmail with a single click. In the app, the new view appears in the sidebar, and in the desktop browser, it also appears as a separate tab.
Google has already started equipping the app and web version for private Gmail users with the new feature. It should be available to all users worldwide soon.
“Promotions” Tab Gets New Sorting
Google has also revamped the “Promotions” category. In the future, messages can be sorted by the most relevant content. This brings senders and brands with which users interact most frequently to the forefront. Additionally, Gmail uses so-called “nudges” to highlight time-limited offers or upcoming deals.

Those who prefer the previous display can keep the sorting unchanged by the latest emails. These changes are expected to roll out to mobile devices for private Google accounts in the coming weeks.
It’s About Time
“After more than six years, I’m still upset that Google discontinued its email client Inbox. The alternative to Gmail was already more organized, easier to use, and less intrusive back then. What Inbox also had ten years ago: a clear list of all purchases and orders.
When Inbox was shut down, Google promised to integrate the best features into Gmail. The fact that the purchase overview has been missing for so long and still doesn’t work as well as it did in Inbox shows me: Google has become too complacent. But that’s another story.”
