Last month the popular webmail app shipped an <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2023\/10\/gmail-unleashes-email-emoji-reactions-onto-an-unsuspecting-world\/\">emoji reactions bar<\/a> in the mobile app, where a single tap would send a new email with your emoji response. Now, a wild new UI experiment spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/gmail-android-new-quick-reply-ui-test\/\">Android Police<\/a> goes another step further: a quick reply bar that looks just like instant messaging input.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than the usual input block you get for writing paragraphs of overly formal text, this new Gmail experiment has a one-line input bar at the bottom for replies. A drop down just above it lets you pick from the usual &#8220;reply,&#8221; &#8220;reply all,&#8221; or &#8220;Forward&#8221; options. Besides that you get an attachment and send button. An &#8220;expand&#8221; button will presumably launch the usual compose interface.<\/p>\n<p>So far this seems to be an extremely rare test that only one person has gotten, so it&#8217;s not necessarily going to roll out to everyone. Given the recent emoji launch, though, Gmail certainly seems jealous of its instant-messaging cousins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1982556\">Read on Ars Technica<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1982556&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1982556\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gmail\u2019s \u201cQuick Reply\u201d UI brings it one step closer to instant messaging<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gmail&#8217;s reply bar.
