Replying to emails can be quite a chore for many, but now Gmail is making this experience much smoother and, above all, updated and modern for Android users, thanks to a new feature that makes it easier to reply quickly from the own inbox.
The new function, a text message style response box, is being implemented on most Android phones. Instead of having to scroll down—or through the three dots—and select the reply option, this redesign allows you to reply directly, similar to how you do with conversations in apps like WhatsApp.
While responding to emails is not necessarily a task that is very complicated following the current process, this new approach eliminates those small unnecessary intermediate steps when starting to compose a response. In the end it is about little by little streamlining all the processes.
Replacing the old “Reply,” “Reply All,” and “Forward” buttons, the new “Reply” box makes the process faster and more intuitive.
Gmail for Android will receive a small WhatsApp-style facelift
While the “Reply All” and “Forward” options are still accessible via a drop-down menu in the new reply box, the option to expand the box for longer responses is also available. However, This function stands out in particular for being very useful if you want to respond to emails quickly and briefly..
Of course, if you are passionate about the same thing as always and don’t feel like making the change, you also have the option of returning to the previous format, since it will also be available to everyone or even if you need more detailed answers.
At the moment it seems that this Gmail feature is slowly reaching some users, so it is quite likely that everyone will have it relatively soon. It should be deployed with the latest version of the application — version 2024.01.28.604414422.
