And you must be ready with your wishlist! Ahead of this shopping season, Google has introduced a new “Purchases” tab in Gmail, which will bring all your purchases and delivery updates in one place. Not only that, Gmail will keep showing you the packages that are set to arrive within 24 hours at the top of your primary inbox and even the summary card in the purchase emails.

This will make sure that you have all your purchased related information in one place in an organised manner, and it will also keep you calm so you don’t miss any crucial purchase-related emails in the mess of your entire inbox.
Gmail Updates Tab: When Will You Witness It?
The good part is that it has already started rolling out from September 11 for mobile and web users around the world. All you need to do is make sure that you have updated your Gmail to the latest version.
Promotions Tab Getting An Update Too
Along with the new Purchase tab, Gmail is also getting an update to its Promotions category. Soon, you’ll be able to sort promotional emails by “most relevant,” allowing you to quickly find updates from brands and senders you interact with the most. So instead of wading through every discount newsletter, your inbox will surface the offers you’re more likely to care about, whether it’s an alert from your favourite shopping app or an exclusive coupon you’ve been waiting for.
Google is also adding smart “nudges” in this section, subtle reminders that will highlight timely offers and upcoming deals. So, if there’s a flash sale ending tonight or a big discount about to go live, Gmail will gently nudge it to your attention, helping you shop smarter and faster.
However, if you prefer the old-school, chronological view, you’re still in control. Gmail will let you switch back to sorting your promotional emails by “most recent” instead of “most relevant.” It’s all about giving you the choice to manage your inbox your way.
