Sharing travel stories with friends and family just got easier! Ever wished you could send those stunning photos of Hanoi’s bustling Old Quarter or the serene West Lake to multiple people without typing each address individually? With Gmail’s handy “Groups” feature, you can. No more tedious copying and pasting – let’s dive into creating your very own email groups.
Creating Your First Email Group
Think of Gmail’s “Contacts” as your trusty travel journal, holding details of everyone you’ve encountered on your journey. Here’s how to gather those contacts into a group:
- Sign In: Log into your Gmail account.
- Go to Contacts: Click on the nine-dot icon in the top right corner, then select “Contacts.”
- Select Contacts: Tick the boxes next to the contacts you want in your group. Imagine ticking off souvenirs you’ve collected on your trip!
- Create Label: Click the “label” icon (it looks like a price tag) and select “Create label.”
- Name Your Group: Choose a descriptive name, like “Hanoi Trip Buddies” or “Foodie Friends.”
- Save: Hit “Save,” and voila! You’ve created your first email group.

Sending Emails to Your Group
Now comes the fun part – sharing your adventures!
- Compose Email: Click “Compose” to start a new email.
- Add Group: In the “To” field, type the name of your group (e.g., “Hanoi Trip Buddies”). Gmail will auto-suggest it.
- Write Your Message: Share your travel tales, peppered with exciting stories about that delicious bowl of Pho you devoured or the vibrant silk paintings you found.
- Send: Click “Send” and watch your email soar into the inboxes of your chosen group.

Managing Your Email Groups
Just like organizing your travel keepsakes, keep your Gmail groups tidy! You can easily add or remove contacts from existing groups.
- Go to Contacts: Access your contacts from the Gmail app launcher.
- Choose Group: Click the group you want to modify.
- Edit: Use the three-dot menu next to each contact to add or remove them from the group.
Why Use Email Groups?
Email groups are a fantastic way to:
- Save Time: No more typing individual addresses – perfect for sharing travel updates or planning your next adventure.
- Stay Organized: Group contacts by interest, making it easy to share relevant information.
- Protect Privacy: Instead of revealing everyone’s email address, you’re only sharing the group name.
