How to Create a Group Email in Gmail

Groups are everywhere! While we only had real groups some years back, today there’s a complete shift and we mainly come across virtual groups! Talk about a fan club, there are thousands of virtual groups but you would not see many in the real world!

So, why this shift? Well, people prefer connecting with each other virtually, because then they are not bound because of time or place. They are free to talk whenever they want and it has made our life way easier.

Talking about communication, I am sure all of you have a lot of Facebook groups or WhatsApp groups for that matter! So, why is it that we prefer these groups? It is because it saves the time we spend on communication.

The same message can be delivered to a lot of people together. We no longer need to send it to each of the contacts in our list and thus we can save our time! And now that you already know the importance of groups, how about having E-mail groups?

Well, that exists for real! With Gmail, you can even make email groups, i.e. you can deliver the same email to all of your selected contacts in one go!

Gmail never fails to impress me, and with this feature, I am sure you will have no complaints!
