  @Google Hi, I need help recovering my Gmail account. I forgot my password. My recovery phone number is active, but after resetting my phone I can't sign in. The recovery process keeps sending the verification code to the same Gmail account I can't access. Please help. Thank you

  .@GoogleKeep, there's a bug in the Gmail widget. Notes seem to randomly delete themselves. I think the problem is that when you open a note to read it, it immediately enters edit mode instead of read-only mode. It should remain in reading mode until the Edit button is tapped.

  the fastest automation win isn't a fancy tool. it's finding the one task quietly eating your week. here's the ritual: every sunday, look back and ask which boring thing stole the most hours. then hand that one thing to a free tool. not fifty tools. one. say the answer is email triage, the daily slog of deciding what to even open. the free tool for it is purebox. it plugs into your gmail with official google login and reads which senders you actually open versus let pile up. the free scan (up to 1,000 emails, no card) shows you your real attention, archive, and trash split, plus how many hours you'd claw back. so even before paying a cent, you know exactly which senders to cut. running the cleanup on autopilot for new mail is about $5 a month, and when it acts, nothing moves until you approve and every change is reversible. every morning i test one automation and break down the one worth keeping. this is today's. what's the one task eating your week right now?

  Beware of installing free version of @grok on your phone. You could inadvertently sign up for $299.99 month Grok Heavy without realizing it and @xai wont do jack for you. I thought I was merely signing into my free Grok account by going through Gmail login. Horrible support.

  Your emails are not being ignored. They are not being delivered. Most ecommerce brands have a deliverability problem they do not even know about. They look at open rates and think "people just do not open emails anymore." No. Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook are sending your emails to spam or blocking them entirely. The cause: you are emailing people who have not engaged in months. Every ignored email trains the inbox provider that your emails are unwanted. That reputation bleeds over to your engaged subscribers too. Your disengaged subscribers are not just dead weight. They are actively hurting your ability to reach the people who want to hear from you. Do you know what percentage of your list has not opened an email in 90 days?

  Tech people, IT experts, or anyone who's good with Gmail, I need your help. A couple of months ago, I started receiving verification codes and login requests for accounts I wasn't trying to access. Microsoft, Facebook, and a few others kept sending me sign in codes even when I wasn't using my laptop. It looked like someone was trying to get into my accounts. I immediately changed my email password. While checking my Gmail, I also found the Manage Subscriptions section and unsubscribed from a lot of mailing lists because I thought it would make my inbox cleaner. Since then, I've noticed something strange. I'm no longer receiving emails from some companies that I actually need. The biggest issue is Fidelity Bank. I've completely stopped receiving their email alerts. I've been to the bank. They confirmed my email is correctly linked. They even removed and added it again, but nothing has changed. I've also had the same problem with a couple of prop firms. Their support teams have resent emails multiple times, but I never receive them. I've tried subscribing again through their websites, but it still doesn't work. Could unsubscribing in Gmail have caused this, or is something else going on? Has anyone experienced this before? How did you fix it? I'd really appreciate any help.

  @RealSuperSwag Good call telling people to DM the Gmail rather than post it publicly, that protects them and keeps your replies clean. Good luck getting CFC Workforce's 12 lined up. Quick tip on the process: collecting the Gmail is step one, but each tester still has to actually opt in through the closed testing link you send and keep the app installed the full 14 days to register as active toward production. Grab more than 12 as a buffer since dropping below 12 active can effectively restart the clock, which stings when you're moving ASAP. And if the DM route gets patchy on holding people the full window, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

  The market is punishing Google for having negative free cash flow - and these analysts think that's "surprisingly stupid." They proved the CapEx is working. Massive backlog. Growing margins. The computer being built is not slowing down. "They don't need the number one model... they have every single app that we all use. They know how to crawl the internet better, so they're going to create better agents than anyone." Distribution beats model rankings. -x- Google does not need the best AI model to win the AI race. "They have everything they need to dominate AI and they do not need to be the number one to dominate." Gemini itself is now approaching a billion monthly users. Gemini-powered AI Overviews inside Google Search passed a billion monthly users on its own while AI Mode also crossed a billion. Google's combined AI footprint reaches an estimated 2 billion people a month. ChatGPT crossed 1 billion monthly users in June. Google's ecosystem is already double that. The reason is simple. Gemini is not a destination app people have to choose to open. It is already inside Search, Docs, Gmail, Android and every YouTube transcript pulled through the browser. Most people using it do not even register that they are. OpenAI's business runs overwhelmingly on ChatGPT subscriptions. If usage does not convert to a paid tier, the revenue does not show up. Google has no such constraint. Search revenue hit $63.3 billion in Q2 2026, up 17% year over year, and Alphabet said the growth came from AI features. Google can also monetize the exact same Gemini usage through cloud, advertising, Android and its hardware line, none of which require anyone to ever pay for a Gemini subscription. That is the actual thesis turn here. Being the fourth or fifth best model is irrelevant when the distribution and the monetization paths are already built and already profitable. The stock has cooled off with the broader AI trade, down modestly over the past month and past quarter but it is still up 70% over the past year.

  The problem: Gmail filters catch ~50% of spam. The other 50%? Cold DMC pitches, bulk newsletters, fake billing alerts, certification scams. As a solo founder, "I'll manually delete it tomorrow" turns into backlog. Turns into stress.

  @gmail The way gmail eases time wasting. I can be connected to my gmail account from any browsers but cannot access it from Outlook at the same time from the same laptop because the OLK browser-based authentication dialog is “unsecure”. No support can be reached to address the issue

  3. Change Location Permissions to "While Using" stop the 24/7 battery drain. This is the most impactful battery fix most Android users never make. Google Maps running constantly in the background can be a significant battery drain. Those radios are power-hungry components in a mobile device, and waking them on a loop drains the battery quietly. You won't notice it happening, but it's a significant amount by the end of the day. Head to Settings → Apps → Google Maps → Permissions → Location, and switch the setting from "Allow all the time" to "Allow only while using the app." On "Allow all the time" (the default on many setups): Google Maps pings your GPS continuously even when the app is closed. For traffic updates. For Timeline. For location-based recommendations. Every ping uses battery. On "While using the app": Google Maps accesses your location only when you have the app open. Close the app. GPS stops. Battery drain stops. A few minutes of investigation revealed the obvious cause: Maps running constantly in the background ranked near the top of battery usage, ahead of Gmail and other daily-use apps. The delivery driver switches to "While using" on his personal phone (not his work phone): "On 'Always,' Maps drained 18% of my battery doing nothing. On 'While using,' it drains 2% when I'm not navigating. Same app. Same phone. 16% battery saved by changing one permission."

  1998. Two Stanford PhD students received a $100,000 cheque they couldn’t even deposit. The cheque was written to Google Inc. There was only one problem: Google Inc. did not legally exist yet. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had built a search engine from their Stanford dorm rooms. It ranked webpages by analysing links, which produced more useful results than many search engines at the time. Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, watched a brief demonstration and immediately wrote them a $100,000 cheque. The investment pushed them to formally create Google. How did the future founders of one of the world’s largest technology companies celebrate? They went to Burger King for breakfast. According to Steven Levy’s history of Google, they could not cash the cheque immediately because the company still had no bank account. No headquarters. No large team. No advertising empire. No Android, YouTube, Gmail or Gemini. Just two students trying to make internet search work better. Their first office was a garage in Menlo Park. The equipment included bulky computers, a ping-pong table, bright blue carpet and even a server rack built with Lego. They were not trying to predict the entire future of technology. They were solving one clear problem: How do we find the right information on a rapidly growing internet? That problem eventually led Google far beyond webpage rankings and into maps, mobile operating systems, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The lesson for builders is not that every garage project becomes Google. It is that you do not need to understand the entire destination before taking the first meaningful step. Solve the problem in front of you exceptionally well. The bigger opportunity may reveal itself only after you begin. Sometimes a revolution starts with a grand vision. Sometimes it starts with an uncashed cheque and breakfast at Burger King. 🍔

  This YouTube channel is making $30,000 a month with only 10 videos. TheCheapFix is 10 videos deep. 18,600 subscribers. Nearly 2 million total views. 195,802 average views per video. The top video pulled 1.1 million views in 2 months. "9 Things Plumbers Don't Want You to Know About Hydrogen Peroxide (#4 Saves $300)." 13 minute video. 5.6x the channel average. The second video pulled 637,000 views in 3 weeks. "11 Things Mechanics Don't Want You To Know About Hydrogen Peroxide!" Every video runs the same anti-tradesman formula. "X Things [Profession] Don't Want You to Know About [Cheap Household Item]." Plumbers. Mechanics. Electricians. Cleaners. Pest control. The audience is every American who has been ripped off by a $300 tradesman visit that took 11 minutes. Monetization is stacked. Every viewer who watched a 13 minute video on saving $300 is a $47 buyer. Why this niche prints. Every American homeowner has been quoted $300 for a fix they could have done in 15 minutes with a $5 bottle of hydrogen peroxide. r/HomeImprovement, r/Plumbing, r/HVAC, r/electricians, and 20 other subreddits have decades of tradesman scam threads waiting to be repackaged. Every viral "cheap fix" post on Reddit is a video idea. The playbook. Step 1. Buy an aged Gmail. or use an old gmail u have. Step 2. Same title formula every video. "X Things [Profession] Don't Want You to Know About [Household Item]." Step 3. 12 to 14 minute videos. Short form, high retention, fast production. Step 4. Attach a $47 ebook the moment you have 3 uploads. Step 5. Ship 5 videos a week. Ride the first 4x outlier the moment it hits. Copy the format. Add the ebook. Win the audience TheCheapFix is leaving on the table.
