Google Rolls Out Gmail ‘Purchases’ Hub Globally, With Relevance‑Sorted Promotions Coming to Mobile

The update centralizes order receipts to streamline managing shopping emails.

Overview

  • A new Purchases section in Gmail’s sidebar, also available as a tab on the web, consolidates orders and package tracking in one place.
  • The purchases and tracking view is rolling out globally now across web and mobile in stages for personal Gmail accounts.
  • Deliveries expected within 24 hours remain flagged in the inbox and are summarized at the top of the Purchases view.
  • The Promotions category will add relevance‑based sorting on mobile for private accounts in the coming weeks, highlighting time‑sensitive offers, with an option to revert to date sorting.
  • In the EEA, Switzerland, the UK and Japan, summary cards and the purchases view are off by default and require enabling Gmail smart features and Conversation View.
