The last thing you want is someone reading your emails
Gmail is an excellent email tool that is used by millions. Its intuitive interface and plentiful integrations with other Google services make communicating between friends, family, and coworkers much easier. However, Gmail remains an imperfect solution when it comes to security, which means you might be interested in sending a secure email through the service.
Why should I send secure emails?
There are plenty of reasons you might need to send a secure email in Gmail on your computer or Android smartphone. Gmail has a secure feature called confidential mode that allows you to send an email that can't be forwarded, copied, printed, or downloaded.
