Yahoo Mail Launches a New App Experience with Mobile-First AI Features
Email summaries, messaging-inspired interface and a gamified experience create the most organized inbox yet
Note: Verizon Media is now known as Yahoo.
Yahoo Mail is introducing a new app experience with AI-powered capabilities, a messaging-first interface, and first-of-its-kind gamified features- designed for users to stay organized, in touch, and on top of their inboxes. With the new app, Yahoo Mail can now summarize messages, suggest next steps, help users compose emails, and enable quick actions directly from the inbox view, making it easier than ever to sort, categorize, and manage their messages.
“We know people struggle to keep up with their inbox volume and with organizing the messages that matter most,” said Rob Gelick, General Manager of Yahoo Mail. “We want to make email more manageable, useful, and feel less like ‘work’ by powering the experience with AI features that make reviewing emails fast and efficient.”
Yahoo Mail has reimagined a smarter inbox with AI features and an intuitive experience to make getting through emails easier.
An AI-Powered Inbox: The new mobile experience is designed to help users navigate their daily emails with ease, with the addition of mobile-first features like AI-generated, one-line email summaries that preview message contents and proposed actions, along with response suggestions offering a quicker way to review an email and reply. With quick-actions, users can view bills, access verification codes, track packages, view images and attachments, add events to their calendar, RSVP to invites, and more—all from a single tap, right from the inbox view. Customized notifications alert users of the email categories most important to them.
Messaging-Inspired Interface: Email writing is a breeze with a new AI-powered composition feature that helps users tailor drafts to the perfect tone—whether professional, friendly, formal, or concise. Additionally, designed with users’ evolving communication habits and preferences in mind, the app will also offer a mobile-friendly response view that creates a familiar, messaging-like experience for quick replies. A primary inbox houses the most important messages, organizing emails by sender, content, and topics that users determine, so their most important messages are never missed. Plus, users can easily unsubscribe or delete by sender with just a tap.
A Gamified Experience Makes Keeping Up With Email Fun: An all-new feature makes cleaning up old emails easy. Users are prompted to delete, archive, or mark emails as read, with a feature that can tidy up an inbox in seconds. Additionally, a first-of-its-kind email feature gives you the ability to catch up quickly - gamifying inbox clean-up, by helping users sort through emails with just a few taps. This mode helps users focus and manage their inbox without feeling overwhelmed, making organizing feel quick and enjoyable.
Bring your own inbox to Yahoo Mail: Now it’s easier than ever for users to manage all of their email accounts in one place. Users can enjoy the benefits of Yahoo Mail without having to create an entirely new account. The app allows users to link multiple email accounts in one place, so anyone using Gmail, Outlook or any other email provider can take advantage of all that Yahoo has to offer no matter what email service they use.
This new mobile app experience follows the debut of the completely redesigned AI-driven Yahoo Mail experience on desktop earlier this year, delivering a cleaner, smarter, and more intuitive design—completely free to users. As one of the biggest updates to Yahoo Mail in nearly a decade, the new priority inbox, AI-powered message summaries, and quick actions were introduced to both new and existing desktop users earlier this year.
While some mobile features will be rolling out to users later this year, the new Yahoo Mail app experience is available now for iOS in the US, further rollout to additional platforms to come.
