At Google we have a culture of sharing what we learned when things go wrong, and we want to share these learnings with you: We should have asked you before turning on the feature, and it should have included a confirmation before sending. Note that if you’re a Google Apps business, education or government user this feature was never turned on. We realize many of you use Gmail for very important messages, and we are sorry if Mic Drop was in any way harmful to you. It replaces the 'Send+Archive' button, and attaches GIFs to sent mail. In addition, we are working to bring back Mic-Dropped messages that had subsequent replies to your inbox, so you can read those. I can't believe how short-sighted Gmail's 'Drop Mic' April 1 joke is.
