Gmail apps for iOS and Android now have a new layout that makes it easier to see where and when your packages are blocking your path. Google announced the functionality would be available 'in the following months' in November of last year. Still, it has recently been used by organizations like 9to5Google and XDA-Developers.

If people know where to look, the feature is already available. When it goes live specifically, it might be more accurate. The feature is now opt-in, making it simple to ignore if you need to be very specific about where to look.

Although Google's initial blog post revealing the feature included a screenshot of the Gmail app's prompt urging you to enable it, for the time being, most users must look through the app's settings to do so.

The 'Package tracking' toggle on iOS may be found in the 'Data Privacy' menu, claims Android Police. On Android, however, it may be found under 'General' settings.

Once I turned on the feature in Gmail's iOS app, the updated shipment monitoring screen for such a recent eBay transaction that UPS shipped was visible. When I touch an email in the new interface, it offers me a more in-depth view and displays the message's date in the main Gmail inbox section.

The previous interface, in comparison, requires me to touch a hyperlink inside the email to view tracking information because it does not display tracking information in the primary mailbox view (beyond what a retailer may add in an email's subject line).

All delivery services do not support the feature. Although it appears to be functioning for me in the UK with just a UPS order, it does not appear to be developing for an identical UK-based order delivered by the delivery service DPD, which has its headquarters in France, or an order to my colleague in the Netherlands, which was delivered by the Dutch courier PostNL.

The interface will be used by 'most major US freight companies,' according to a prior statement from Google. But even so, enabling Gmail's new bundle tracking feature is a no-brainer since, when it works, it's a handy little tool.
