Note that if you're a Google Apps business, education or government user this feature was never turned on.Īt Google we have a culture of sharing what we learned when things go wrong, and we want to share these learnings with you: We realize many of you use Gmail for very important messages, and we are sorry if Mic Drop was in any way harmful to you. In addition, we are working to bring back Mic-Dropped messages that had subsequent replies to your inbox, so you can read those. UPDATE: We heard feedback that some of you were negatively impacted by this feature, so we quickly turned it off late last night. Hopefully any damage wasn't too catastrophic, and Google says it's working on bringing Mic Dropped messages with further replies back to user's inboxes.
#GOOGLE MIC DROP PRANK UPDATE#
Now in a second update to its blog post, Google has acknowledged its mistake, focusing on three points: It should've asked users before turning on the feature and/or added a confirmation step, it placed the Mic Drop button too close to other more familiar elements, and there was a bug that could cause the regular send button to still send Mic Drops. Last night its Gmail "Mic Drop" feature that responded with a dismissive GIF and closed the conversation permanently had to be pulled after user complaints. Every year Google insists on unleashing a storm of April Fool's "jokes," but this time one had a problem.
