Poor performance data suggests an inbox killed by Google on lack of users

In short: The inbox of the Gmail application declined a long time before Google decided to kill it, the third-party performance data obtained by AndroidHeadlines reveals, bringing more light to the polarization stop. The number of app users was not affected by last week's announcement by Alphabet's affiliate, as the tool is still available on more than 2.3 million Android devices in the United States. United, according to App Ape estimates. About a quarter of its users in the United States launch Inbox at least once a day, with a daily active user count of about 850,000 people on average over the past week. While these measures imply remarkable user loyalty, Inbox has been losing momentum for some time now, with nearly two-thirds less users in the past twelve months.

Context: The app has not experienced any massive performance declines since its inception and has steadily been losing users, which may have prompted Google to abandon the project while still relevant on a significant scale. The Play Store's list of the service reveals that it has been downloaded by 10 to 50 million Android users since its debut in 2014, but while recent US data is an indication of its overall performance, a tiny and unique percentage of this user base. was running it on a monthly basis.

Google has still caused a significant backlash after the announcement of the shutdown of the inbox in March, the company's communication last week has been criticized and ridiculed by the users of the inbox. While many contemporary email applications, including Google's own version of Gmail, integrate a wide range of artificial intelligence technologies to make them more automated and intuitive, the streamlined user interface and robust automatic grouping features 'Inbox remain to this day a unique combination.

Impact: The data obtained by AndroidHeadlines indicates that if Google can actually transfer more resources to Gmail as a result of the interruption of the inbox – which he said was the main goal of the decision – the company does not have the same resources. did not end a widely used service but simply decided to count his losses on a project that has been in the dark for some time now. As a result, the volume of online responses to the disappearance of the app is likely a disproportionate representation of public opinion on the issue, as most people do not care.
