Google begins the rolling out Chats and Rooms integration to personal Google accounts

In 2020, Google put together a Chat, messaging and Google Meet to Gmail for its users. Currently google is now rolling it for personal Gmail users also.

Just after the successful roll out, Gmail users will also see four tabs under Gmail as follows

• Chat
• Mail
• Meet
• Rooms

This feature is currently only available on desktop versions of Gmail accounts and on the Gmail application. 

When you’re using the Gmail app, you will find all the four options at the button ribbon, Meanwhile on the desktop, there’s an assigned section for each, located on the left sidebar. 

All these options are enabled by default upon the rollout, but Google grants the users access to turn them off from the Settings. 

Regarding functionality, these new options work in the same style as the standalone applications, only that they are now integrated under one roof of the Gmail application. 

If you can’t access this features on your personal Gmail account, then you can enable Chat and Rooms options manually from the Settings.

• On your Gmail applications
• Open the Google Play Store and update your Gmail application to the latest version available on playstore.
• Open the app and head to Settings
• Select your account and scroll down to discover the option ‘Chats’
• Click on the box placed in front of it to allow the option and then click on Try it on the window that pops up
• Gmail will then relaunch and you will be able to see all four options in your Gmail
