Google did roll this out: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2016/03/introducing-gmail-mic-d...

>So, I'm going to guess the whole article is fake.

Honestly this is the best April Fools I've seen on the internet in years because I've no idea whether the mic drop feature existed or not. The uncertainty in whether it's real owns

The mic drop feature did exist; I had the pleasure of actively not clicking it on an email I sent last night.

I'd like to believe you, but how can I trust anything I read on the internet today?

No, it's true. I noticed the Drop the Mic thing last night, and ignored because it was late and I was tired, and I didn't understand what the hell it was. I actually thought it was some kind of Whatsapp-like "send voice message", done with an extremely ugly Minion emoticon.

It was launched in Australia, presumably that time is ACT which sort of makes sense as an update while they were writing the article.
