    Google has removed an April Fool's Gmail button, which sent a comical animation to recipients, after reports of people getting into trouble at work.

    The button appeared beside Gmail's normal send button and allowed users to shut down an email thread by sending a gif of a Minion dropping a microphone.

    However, a flurry of complaints about the button appeared on Google's forums.

    The firm has since withdrawn the feature and apologized.
