The momentary panic that sets in when you write “Dear Kylie” instead of “Dear Kendall” on that work email is now and forever officially handled. Gmail now has the option to recall a sent message for up to 30 seconds after you’ve sent it.
To set this up, go to the Settings icon in the top right hand corner of your Gmail homepage, choose Settings → General, then toggle on “undo send.” You can decide how long you have before the option to call your email back from the dark internet chasm disappears. Nervous Nellies can opt for the 30-second option, while the Masochistic Marges can select five seconds.
