15 years and counting - the Gmail team has announced new and efficient tools, including  the ability to schedule emails to be sent in future and four new languages.

Google launched its web-based email client back in 2004.

The Smart Compose feature helps you draft new emails from scratch faster.

Not only does the Smart Compose tries to auto-complete your emails as you type, it will now also adapt to the way you write the greetings in your emails.  

It can also suggest a subject line based on the content of your mail.

Smart Compose is now available on Android. Support for iOS is coming soon.

The Smart Compose will also come with four new languages: Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.

It has also added a new feature which allows you to choose when an email should be sent.

"We understand that work can often carry over to non-business hours, but it’s important to be considerate of everyone’s downtime.

"Just write your email as you normally would, then schedule it to arrive in your recipient’s inbox at a later date and time," said G Suite's director of product management Jacob Bank.
