Gmail Adds Blue Verification Checkmarks to iOS and Android Apps

Google's new security feature aims to combat phishing by displaying verified sender marks in Gmail's mobile apps.

  • Google introduces blue checkmarks for verified senders in Gmail's iOS and Android apps to enhance email security.
  • The feature, known as Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), was previously available only on the Gmail web client.
  • Senders must have their brand logo and domain verified by an independent third party to qualify for these checkmarks.
  • Gmail also supports Common Mark Certificates (CMC), allowing more senders without registered trademarks to utilize BIMI.
  • The rollout of this feature will occur over the coming weeks, and users must ensure their Gmail app is updated to see the changes.
