Google announced the [functionality](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/136/using-watermark-functionality-in-textbox-by-jquery) would be available 'in the following months' in November of last year. Still, it has recently been used by [organizations](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84018/why-should-b2b-organizations-use-content-marketing) 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. \ ![Gmail Package Tracking Now Available for Android and iOS Users](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ywlj0WEsyoLN0DYtaB2zQfR5v_RNspou6ZBWXkTwCC9R_WZRxYjxoz9u1Gu1JS2bg9pR1YjFWusY64LI0NUZqwlXyt9xTaOr2aIgl57pqu2DHFBIi1B0NAc4YkQbWoiwdvXMoG9INwwAs1Kt5FYL7AY) Although Google's initial [blog](https://www.mindstick.com/developersection/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](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304706/google-s-new-data-privacy-technology-everything-you-must-know)' 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](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12832/learn-the-art-of-monitoring-google-updates-to-stay-in-tune-with-the-best-seo-practices) screen for such a recent eBay [transaction](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/175/transactions-in-database) 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. \ [**Also Read: How Can I Contact Gmail Customer Helpline Number?**](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/235789/how-can-i-contact-gmail-customer-helpline-number) \ 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](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156257/how-do-i-write-a-good-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](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/324163/netherlands-created-such-a-tool-for-tumor-operation), 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. \ --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2763/gmail-package-tracking-now-available-for-android-and-ios-users Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
