    Scroll down and tap Confirm before sending . Options are at the bottom of the page. This will ensure that from now on, emails you send need to be confirmed before leaving your inbox, thereby preventing you from accidentally sending emails.

    • If you see a checkmark to the right of this option, the option is enabled.

    • Advice

    • The new version of Gmail has a “self-destruct” feature. With this option, the email will automatically disappear from the recipient’s inbox after a certain period of time (at least one day).

    Warning

    • Setting a recall timeframe of more than 5 seconds will cause a noticeable delay from after you click the Send button to when the email actually enters the recipient’s inbox.
    • Unfortunately, there is no way to revoke an email after the “Undo Send” period has ended.

    This wikiHow teaches you how to recall emails within seconds of sending on Gmail. You can do this with both the desktop version of Gmail as well as the mobile apps for iPhone and iPad. On Android, while it’s not possible to undo sending an email, you can enable Gmail to ask for confirmation before sending an email.
