Gmail has now more than 900 million users. Extending the lead of the world`s most popular email service, Gmail now reaches 900 million around the globe, more than double the 425 million monthly active users that it had three years ago.
Google`s senior vice president of products, Sundar Pichai, made the announcement Thursday during the Internet giant`s annual I/O developers conference.
More than three-quarters of Gmail users are logging on from mobile devices.
Seizing on that momentum, Google is opening up a new version of Gmail to the public, this one redesigned for mobile devices. Called Inbox, it launched as an invitation-only service in October.
