Gmail login: How to disable 'annoying' Gmail Nudges?

Google Gmail is synonymous with free email, due to the message managing platform’s spectacular popularity. Part of Gmail’s success is due to regular updates, offering new functions and refreshing the interface. But one of these features, Gmail Nudges, is proving an unwelcome addition.

What are Gmail Nudges?

Gmail Nudge is intended to be a helpful hint for users to respond to emails.

The Gmail Nudges feature places forgotten back at the top of the Inbox.

Anyone who has installed the overhauled email service has Gmail Nudge automatically activated.

The free service uses cutting-edge tech to trawl for emails you may have forgotten to reply to or follow-up on.

This feature has proved a god-send to those with cluttered inboxes after receiving large quantities of email.

But although the idea is fine, many users have developed their own way of working and Gmail Nudges has quickly become an annoyance for many.
