How to switch back to old Gmail if you hate the new look

GOOGLE has rolled out a new look for Gmail but not everyone is loving it. The tech giant has tweaked the desktop design, putting things like Chat, Spaces, and Meet more upfront.

A quick look at Twitter and you’ll see a fair few unimpressed users. “I really, really hate the new font in the email subject in the Gmail redesign,” one tweeted.

“This Gmail update is pretty minor, but also… why and I hate it,” another said.

Thankfully, Google bosses are giving us all a chance to turn back time. Yes, there is a special option to revert to the original view.

How to bring back the old Gmail

If you want to change the layout of Gmail on the desktop back to how it was before, start by logging into your account and clicking the settings cog icon.

You should see a message up top saying: “You’re using the new Gmail view.”

  • Click Go back to the original view.
  • A box will appear asking why you don’t like the new layout.
  • Feel free to give Google a piece of your mind – or you can ignore it.
  • Either way, click the Reload button next.
