GMAIL UNDERSTANDS HOW important the selfie has become in 2014.

Now, the email service from Google wants you to be able to share your beautiful face with friends and loved ones through the medium of your account.

So, they’ve introduced Shelfies (shareable selfies) which allows you to set your own selfie as your gmail background and then share that background with others, so that they do can enjoy looking at your carefully posed duckface.

God bless us, everyone.
