Quote:Google has announced that its Gmail service will soon provide a new setting to let users decide whether they want their data to be used in order to enable smart features across Google services. The ability to disable these smart features was already available, but with the new experience, it should help users more easily understand when they're disabling data collection and processing by Google.

Google has added some smart features to Gmail over time, such as smart compose and the tabbed inbox, which are meant to make the experience more convenient. Many users may not consider the implications of using these features and how they're tied to data collection, so the new setting should make that a bit easier to understand.
