The introduction of these new ad formats has occurred without any official announcement from Google. In fact, the Gmail Twitter account responded to a user’s complaint about ads in the middle of the inbox by saying, “doesn’t sound good.” The changes seem to be rolling out gradually to some users, with others not yet experiencing the new ad style. Reports indicate that the changes are visible across all Gmail interfaces, including the mobile app and web access.
It’s important to note that Gmail users who choose to use alternative email clients like the Apple Mail app or Outlook will not be affected by Gmail’s ads.
