Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
Wait so Google is putting ads in its services now?

Apparently hotmail/Microsoft does the same
I started getting this with the new outlook. Rolled back and they vanished.
This is why, if you need to use gmail, you never use the official app. Just use a different client, anf you at least bypass this specific bullshit
I use the official app and I don't get these.
They're only in the "promotional" section. Still shouldn't be there the way they are, but it isn't like they're in every section yet
I don't use any of the default Gmail apps. Not because of ads, but because, if your email is too long, Google will truncate it and make you click to a new page to read the whole thing. I found Edison Mail on Android works acceptably. And in Firefox I use an addon called Notifier for Gmail. But I've seen recently that N for G might stop working sometime soon.
I just checked my Gmail. I did not see a single ad in my inbox. Stop lying OP
