Gmail adds new “Purchases” tab to simplify package tracking

Google is now making it simpler for users to keep a tab of their online orders. With a new Gmail update, the tech giant has introduced a dedicated ‘Purchases’ tab. This new tab will offer a more streamlined view of all the upcoming package deliveries to the users. Along with this, it will also keep the users informed about their past orders.

The new tab is created on Gmail’s present package tracking feature. First launched in 2022, the feature enabled users to see delivery updates directly in their inbox. Now, instead of digging through emails or visiting carrier websites, users can simply open the Purchases tab to view shipment statuses, expected arrival dates, and order history.
