Users will soon be able to track their package deliveries directly from their inbox, thanks to a small update to Gmail. The feature works by looking for emails that include tracking numbers, then using that information to determine the order's expected delivery date and flag it for you in your inbox.
You won't have to click on your order confirmation emails to see when your package is due to arrive. The email senders name and subject line will be displayed in a small green label. There is a truck icon followed by text indicating the order's status and delivery date. As the order progresses, this label will be updated with information such as arrival date or delivery date.

Consumers have to open their order confirmation emails and either copy and paste the tracking information into the carriers system or click on a provided link to begin tracking the order, so this feature will save them a lot of time. All they have to do is check their email.
If you click to open the order confirmation email, you'll see a summary card at the top of the page with a link to the order.
There will be a new feature in the US in the coming weeks. The feature is expected to arrive in time for the holiday shopping season.
Users will be asked if they want to receive tracking updates in a pop-up at the top of their inbox. Depending on their preferences, users will either allow or allow now. In Gmail's settings, this can be enabled as well.

Humans aren't reading your email and the system involves having it scanned. If Gmail uses this data to help inform its various developments in e- commerce and first-party shopping features, some may view this as a privacy concern.
The adoption of popular third-party package tracking apps could be affected by the new addition.
When a package is delayed, the package tracking feature will be expanded to bring an email to the top of users' inboxes to make sure they know.
