Google doing away with Gmail’s basic HTML view feature from 2024
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google is pulling the plug on Gmail’s basic HTML view starting January 2024. Gmail’s basic HTML view allows users to look at their emails in a no-frill state and the feature is more than 10 years old. Google has updated its support page to reflect that Gmail will automatically switch to the Standard view after the deadline date.
In their message to users, Google stated, "We’re writing to let you know that the Gmail Basic HTML view for desktop web and mobile web will be disabled starting early January 2024. The Gmail Basic HTML views are previous versions of Gmail that were replaced by their modern successors 10+ years ago and do not include full Gmail feature functionality."
Google further clarified that Gmail Basic HTML views are outdated versions of Gmail that were replaced by modern versions more than a decade ago, and lack many of Gmail's current features.
Gmail's support documentation states, "Important: You can display Gmail on your browser in Basic HTML view until January 2024. After this date, Gmail automatically changes to Standard view."
Hence users will be able to access Gmail in Basic HTML view until January 2024, after which Gmail will automatically switch to Standard view.
The HTML version of Gmail is designed for “slower connections and legacy browsers", and it lacks various features present in the standard Gmail interface, such as chat, spell check, search filters, keyboard shortcuts, and rich formatting. It has remained useful for individuals in low-connectivity areas or those who prefer a simpler email viewing experience.
