I was looking around my Gmail account settings today and thought “Why don’t I have these new features?”. I changed some settings to see whether they would just magically appear and I would have access to the new chat feature, and much more.
Guess what. They appeared magically. Simply by changing the language from English (UK) to English (US), the features you waited long and hard for appear for you. Just thought I’d let you know. Happy Gmailing!
Bare in mind this is just a temporary solution until they give the features to the UK.
