How to Cc in Gmail app

The CC (carbon copy) field is an optional email field. It is used to send a copy of your email to any other mentioned email (or emails).

What is the difference between the To and CC fields, you ask? After all, you can enter multiple addresses in both the To and CC fields. The difference is only in semantics. The To field contains the emails of those to whom this email is directly addressed. While recipients whose emails are contained in the CC field receive this email more for notification/review purposes, it may not apply to them at all.

  1. You can create a new email by pressing the Compose button in the Gmail interface.

Options for adding message recipients

Add recipients (Cc)

When you add recipients to your message, you have the option to add a "Cc" field. Anyone in this field will see the other recipients of the message.

"Cc" is often used to add recipients to an email who don't need to take any action.

Hide recipients (Bcc)

If you're sending a message and want to hide a recipient's email address, you can add them in the "Bcc" field.

How "Bcc" works:

  • The recipients won't know that you added anyone to "Bcc."
  • Anyone you add to the "Bcc" field will see that they were added using "Bcc." They will also see message recipients in the "To" and "Cc" fields. 
    Note: If they don't use Gmail, they may not see this information.
  • People you add in "Bcc" can't see the name or email address of anyone else you add in the "Bcc" field.
  • If people reply all to a message, people in "Bcc" won't see the reply.

Send an email to multiple recipients

When you write a message, you'll add the recipients in the "To," "Cc," or "Bcc" fields.

To add more than one recipient, put a comma between each name or email address. You can also click “To,” “Cc,” or “Bcc” to add recipients or manage your contact labels.

If you need to send an email to multiple people, you can also create a group.
Note: You can add a group email address in the "To," “Cc,” or “Bcc” fields.
