Gmail has been our go-to email platform for many years. Various businesses and individuals rely on the application for important tasks. Gmail has become one of the mainstream apps as it offers various new and advanced features that make emailing easy. Keeping this advancement in mind, Google has decided to discontinue Gmail's basic HTML view, which was especially useful whenever the internet suffered a slowdown. According to a report shared by Google support, Gmail users will have to switch to the “standard” view as they will be discontinuing the basic HTML view in January 2024. After this date, Gmail automatically changes to Standard View. But no reason for the decision was stated by the company. This news may come as a shocker for various HTML view users in terms of accessibility, and those who have old devices will have to look for alternatives. However, the standard version has various advanced features that may be helpful for many as it is widely used.
