- Google is officially rolling out Quick Reply in Gmail, a new UI that makes it easier to compose new replies to your emails.
- The company started testing this new UI with a handful of users back in November 2023, but it wasn’t clear at the time if the UI would stick around.
- With the latest Android feature drop, however, Google has made Quick Reply in Gmail official.
If you open the Gmail app on your Android phone today, you might notice a new UI when replying to emails. Today, Google announced that it is rolling out Quick Reply in Gmail, a new UI that makes it easier to respond to emails. Google has been testing this feature out with a handful of users since November of last year, but it’s only now made the change official with the latest Android Feature Drop.
Before this update, if you opened any email in the Gmail app for Android, you’d need to tap the reply button to start composing a message. Tapping the reply button opens up the full-screen email compose UI you’re all probably familiar with. The full-screen email compose UI is great for drafting longer responses, but if you need to just send a quick message, then it’s not really necessary.
