[post_ads]Google’s Undo Send feature has been saving people from embarrassing
typos, mistakes, and other email taboos for years on the web version of
Gmail. Now, the feature is being carried over to the official mobile
version of Google’s email app, starting with a release on the official
Android version of Gmail, according to Android Police. The feature should arrive with Gmail version 8.7.
The feature started as a Google Labs experiment you had to toggle on before graduating to the official Gmail feature list in 2015.
It works by implementing a time delay on sent emails to let you rescind
them within 10 seconds if you happened to impulsively fire it out with
an error in plain sight. It exists already on mobile within Google’s Inbox app on both iOS and Android. But for those who use the official Gmail mobile client, it’s been mysteriously absent.

Android Police notes
that this may be a server-side update, so it may not be showing up
properly in update notes for all devices and may require a restart of
Gmail even if the app is already running version 8.7.
