Google Introduces Emoji Reactions for Gmail on Android

Google has introduced emoji reactions for Gmail on Android devices, allowing users to react to emails with emojis similar to how they do in instant messaging. The feature includes a menu of emoji options that users can choose from when responding to emails. Reactions will appear next to a smiley face icon at the bottom of emails, and some emojis come with short animations, such as digital confetti for the party popper emoji. However, non-Gmail users in the email chain will receive each reaction as a separate email.
