TL;DR<\/p>\n
Gmail\u2019s AI-powered summaries are now live for everyone worldwide on Android, iOS, and the web.
\nThese were initially limited to paying Google AI users, and subsequently rolled out to free users in the US.
\nIf you feel uncomfortable, you can turn them off, but it will also cut off Gemini\u2019s access to other Workspace apps, including Drive and Tasks.<\/p>\n
Google appears to be making Gemini-powered email summaries in Gmail slowly available to free Gmail users. I\u2019m based in India and recently spotted AI Overviews for individual emails active on my free Gmail account. However, the summaries appear only for a few email threads at the moment.<\/p>\n

The move can be confirmed by a recent change Google made to a support page<\/a>. Here, it says \u201cAI Overviews conversation summaries\u201d are now available across paid, Workspace, and free Gmail accounts for users globally. They\u2019re also available across Android, iOS, and the web.<\/p>\n However, it currently only supports a limited set of languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.<\/p>\n As with search, the AI Overview in Gmail conversations uses Gemini to analyze the contents of a particular thread. Along with these, Google also offers broader summaries of conversations you need to catch up on <\/a>in the form of \u201cAI Inbox.\u201d Along with that, you can also use \u201cAsk Gemini\u201d to get responses to specific queries without having to dig through individual threads. However, these AI features outside specific threads are currently exclusive to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US.<\/p>\n How to stop Gemini from reading your emails?<\/p>\n If you\u2019re uncomfortable with Gemini reviewing your emails without you requesting it, you can disable it in Gmail.<\/p>\n Start by going to Settings. Under the General tab, look for Google Workplace smart features, and click the button that says Manage Workplace smart features settings.<\/p>\n Tushar Mehta \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n Here, you can disable smart, i.e., Gemini-powered, features entirely. However, remember that doing so completely shuts off all Workspace-related AI features, including Google Tasks on your phone. That means you will no longer be able to set reminders by talking to Gemini, and that might be a tradeoff worth considering.<\/p>\n![\"Gmail](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Gmail-Smart-features-turn-off-scaled.jpg\"\/ "\\"Gmail")
