Shortwave is a new Google Inbox-inspired email app
Google Inbox might be dead, but Shortwave is a new email service that aims to bring some of its magic back to life.
Google left many people disappointed in 2019 when the company shut down Inbox by Gmail (also known as Google Inbox), an email application that connected to Gmail and organized your messages in easy-to-read bundles.

How to possibly keep using the Inbox by Gmail app on Android after its shutdown [Root]
Google has discontinued its popular Inbox by Gmail app, but if you have a rooted Android device you can continue using it on Android after its shutdown.

Since Google announced the discontinuation of Inbox, the company has redesigned the Gmail app, rolled out a smart compose feature, and has announced plans to roll out an email scheduling feature. Two features which haven't made their way over to the Gmail app include equivalents to the "Save to Inbox" feature, bundles, reminders, and pinned items, although the last three are reportedly in testing. The transition from Inbox to Gmail has been painful for many users, but if you have a rooted Android smartphone it may be possible to continue using Inbox for a little while longer.
