Google has sparked concerns among Gmail users as it appears to be increasing the number of ads displayed in the email service, according to multiple online reports and social media posts. While ads have long been a part of Gmail’s interface to generate revenue and keep the service free, they have typically been distinguishable from regular emails.
However, recent changes suggest that Google is now embedding ads within users’ inboxes, making them more difficult to differentiate from legitimate messages. Screenshots shared by users show ads that are designed to look like regular emails, as well as larger interactive ads with images and other content.
