Disable Primary, Social and Promotions Tabs in Gmail

While recently accessing to my Gmail account, there was a change in the interface as compared to earlier. Before my mail box looked so simple I would read my messages in just one click. Currently, it is taking more time to read my emails because of this new update.↓

This has taken place because the Gmail mail box has got divided into three new groups or categories, which are;

• Primary
• Social and
• Promotions

These changes took place as a result of new update, which was given by Google. This has given a new look to Gmail interface.

Now whenever you are accessing Gmail account, it will come to your notice that mail box has been divided into three tabs primary, social and promotions. These new tabs of Gmail's can be seen at the top of your browser windows without any scroll.

Click on the image which are given below to differentiate between before and after, a look of Gmail.

The default interface of Gmail's before look like this.↓

Firstly, I liked to thanks Google for taking incentive in giving a new look to Gmail interface. Since I do expect some enhancement to improve their services in the future.

Since the new changes, the mail box has divided into three tabs primary, social and promotions have irritated me. It takes more time to check my emails as before which hampers my productivity. Gmail didn't even take consent of the user in changing this interface. As earlier Google uses to notify the user before every change made by them.

Currently, I like to prefer the default look of my Gmail mail box. If you like to disable primary, social and promotion's tabs follow the simple guidelines (steps) which are given below.↓
