Gmail increases time limit for Undo Send feature: How to recall emails after sending them

Google has started rolling out an update to Gmail’s Undo Send feature for Web and iOS users. With the update, users will be able to opt-in for different time frames for allowing them to recall emails. The company announced the rollout of the new update via a Facebook post.

To recall, Gmail earlier only offered users a standard five-second window to recall an email. However, with this update, they can increase the time duration to 10 seconds, 20 seconds and or 30 seconds.
