Gmail is Rolling Out a Blue Checkmark for Android and iOS Devices

In May 2023, Gmail introduced a blue checkmark to enhance email security and provide users with a more reliable identification of legitimate senders. The future can now be seen on both Android and iOS platforms. It is built on Gmail’s existing Brand Indicator for Message Identification (BIMI) feature, allowing verified brands to display their logos in email messages.

Introducing Gmail Blue Checkmark adds a layer of authentication and trust to email communication. Users can also provide businesses with more benefits and information based on this technology. Gmail only shows the blue verified checkmark for select senders who have adopted BIMI with a registered trademark (VMC). 

According to 9to5Google, BIMI prompts another layer of security in Gmail by requiring strong authentication and verification of the logo before it is displayed as an avatar.” On the other hand, Gmail Blue Checkmark was only launched on the web last year and is now being rolled out to Gmail for Android and iOS. 

The new blue Verified Sender checkmark in Gmail is an important step forward in email security. It gives users a clear way to identify verified senders. This feature will help Gmail reduce the risks of phishing and Gmail fraud. It will likely encourage more widespread adoption of email authentication practices across the industry, providing better security to users.
