“Gmail users often exchange information like addresses and phone numbers with each other to set up meetings, introduce colleagues and plan events. Precious time can be lost by having to copy and paste this information from an email into other apps and websites, so we wanted to provide a better way to perform these tasks that also saves time”

If a user clicks on an address link, he will be enrouted to Google Maps. In addition, if a user clicks on an email address then the link will take him to a new page which will essentially be composing a new email. At the end, if a user will tap on a phone number while using a mobile device, the link will project the contact number of the client and will start a call request. This not only makes it functionally convenient, but also makes the exchange of information aesthetically pleasing.
The feature is expected to be available to all the users within the next two days.
