Google is testing a new feature for Gmail, the world’s most used e-mail service. Accordingly, Gmail will have a function like chat applications. Google, which previously offered the emoji reply feature for Gmail, is determined to make e-mail technology more fun. In this sense, Google is preparing for the Gmail quick reply feature.
Gmail is preparing to introduce quick reply feature for email
Google has not been offering Gmail features that would change the face of the email service for many years. Finally, in September, it started testing the feature of reacting to emails with emojis. Now, with Gmail’s quick response feature, this change has reached another level.
In this sense, Gmail has started testing the quick reply bar for Android users. Currently, to reply to an email in the Gmail interface, you need to scroll down to the end of the incoming email and click reply. However, in the newly tested interface, a Gmail quick reply bar appears right below the e-mail message.
Of course, to reply to an e-mail via Gmail, there is a reply button on the right side of the incoming message. However, even if you scroll down or press the reply button on the right, a new e-mail window opens.
Google Play will require developers to do more app testing
Google Play is introducing a more comprehensive app testing procedure to improve app quality on Android.
The new Gmail quick reply bar appears as soon as you open the email. You can only respond via this quick reply bar. You can choose to reply to all from the bar or forward the e-mail to someone else. There is also the option to react with emoji and attach files in the Gmail quick reply bar.
In this sense, Google is trying to keep its e-mail service up to date with Gmail. As you know, the first e-mail was sent via ARPANET in 1971. This distribution network operated under the US Department of Defense. Of course, e-mail technology has developed a lot since then. Despite this, instant messaging applications have begun to replace most functions of email services. However, Google is trying to keep up with the times in email technology with its quick reply and emoji reaction feature.
So, do you think this new Gmail feature can pave the way for chatting via e-mail? We are waiting your comments.
