Google is in the process of introducing a feature that will enable Gmail users on iOS and Android devices to react to emails with a single emoji.
The anticipation of emoji reactions in Gmail has been circulating for a while, and recently, an industry insider named AssembleDebug managed to test the feature on an Android device, sharing their findings on TheSpAndroid blog.
According to the report, a new button will be added “to the right of the email” alongside the three-dot menu. When tapped, this button will open a small menu offering users a choice of five default emojis: a sparkling heart, a party popper, a thumbs up, a laughing face, praying hands (often used to express gratitude), and the classic smiley face. Once an emoji is selected, it appears in a reaction bar below the message, similar to how it works in messaging platforms.
