California, April 17: Tech giant Google is set to launch a new security layer for its mailing service Gmail that will help users to purge a mail or text after a period of time.

The 'confidential mode' will enable users to set a passcode to open emails, which will be generated through text message. In addition, one can set expiration date for sent emails. The new Gmail mode will available after its revamp.

A company spokesperson said that Google will offer Gmail users the ability to try the redesign through an early access program in the coming weeks.

"We're working on some major updates to Gmail (they're still in draft phase). We need a bit more time to compose ourselves, so can't share anything yet -- archive this for now, and we'll let you know when it's time to hit send.”

Many of Gmail's new features were found in Google's Inbox email project. Smart replies were previously available through the Gmail app on iOS and Android.

Notably, Google previously beefed up Gmail's privacy features in 2017 when it stopped scanning Gmail content to better serve you with advertisements.
