Google has launched a new quick reply feature for Gmail users on Android, streamlining the process of responding to emails. This latest update, available starting today exclusively on Android devices, allows users to reply to emails directly from the conversation view without needing to navigate to a full-screen compose window.
Previously, Gmail on Android offered several reply options such as “Reply,” “Reply all,” or “Forward” when viewing an email conversation. Upon selecting any of these options, users would be taken to a separate, full-screen compose view to craft their response.
Enhanced Quick Reply Feature
With the new quick reply experience, users can now respond to emails right from the bottom of the conversation thread. This update is optimized for brief, concise replies, but for those who need to write longer, more detailed responses, there is an option to expand the text box and access additional formatting tools.
Although this feature is currently limited to Android users, Google has confirmed that it will be available to iOS users later this year.

To utilize the quick reply feature, simply open an email, tap into the text box at the bottom, type your message, and hit the send icon. For more detailed or formal communications, users can switch to the full-screen compose view by tapping the “Expand to full screen” icon.
This new feature is being rolled out to all Google Workspace customers, Google Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts. Google has stated that Workspace customers can expect to receive the update within the next two weeks, while Google accounts and Workspace Individual subscribers already have access to this enhanced quick reply experience.
