Not Apr 1: Google stops scanning your Gmail to sling targeted ads at you • The Register
'This decision brings Gmail ads in line with how we personalize ads for other Google products. '
'Google has said it will no longer scan the content of Gmail messages to sell targeted adverts to users of the free service. '
'"Consumer Gmail content will not be used or scanned for any ads personalization after this change. '
'"G Suite's Gmail is already not used as input for ads personalization, and Google has decided to follow suit later this year in our free consumer Gmail service," it said. '
' And Google will still be doing some Gmail scanning to offer up its Smart Replies suggestions at the end of the messages. ®'

Translation: "We no longer bother scanning your email because we get way more data from your Android phone."
