Guidance for Users
For users concerned about this transition, Google assures them that they will receive an in-product announcement with instructions on how to switch to the ‘Standard View’ in the weeks leading up to the HTML view’s removal. To ensure a smooth transition, Google recommends:
- Browser Compatibility: Ensure you are using a supported browser running the latest version.
- Extensions Check: Verify if any browser extensions are hindering Gmail’s functionality.
- Cache and Cookies: Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, which can sometimes resolve loading issues.
- Internet Connection: A reboot or system restore might be needed to address potential internet connectivity issues.
- Device Compatibility: If your device is incapable of handling Gmail’s standard view, consider upgrading to a new device or utilizing the Gmail app on mobile devices.
