The internet giant does this by trying to shave seconds off the common tasks we perform every day. With over 1.5 billion Gmail users, the email client offers Google a great way to do this.<\/p>\n<p>We first brought you news of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/this-is-how-to-use-gmail-smart-replies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gmail\u2019s Smart Replies<\/a> way back in July 2017. Now almost two years old, Smart Replies have been helping Gmail users write simple email responses by offering three possible answers based on the text in the email they\u2019ve just received.<\/p>\n<p>Then, back in May,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-use-the-4-best-features-in-the-new-gmail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google first introduced Smart Compose<\/a> to Gmail on desktop. Smart Compose is a much more contextually rich feature as it is there to help you write all your emails rather than simply offering possible responses. As you write your emails, Gmail is constantly trying to predict what you might be typing to offer you suggestions based on your email writing habits. This handy feature<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/products\/gmail\/smart-compose-comes-pixel-3-and-four-new-languages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> came to Google\u2019s flagship Pixel 3 phone in October<\/a> and now, the mobile roll-out of the Smart Compose feature has gone one step further.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-132244\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Gmail_smart_compose_on_all_android_devices_lnnsqg.jpg\" alt=\"Gmail smart control on Android devices\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\"><\/p>\n<h2>Gmail Smart Compose is now available on all Android devices<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/products\/gmail\/smart-compose-comes-pixel-3-and-four-new-languages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smart Compose arrived on a select group of Android handsets<\/a>; including the Pixel 2, OnePlus 6T, and Galaxy S9+, but the roll-out has now spread to all Android devices. If you have the Gmail app on your Android device, you should receive a message inside the app telling you that the feature is now active and showing you how to use it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_images\/Smart-compose_Taco_Tuesday.gif\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p>On desktop, the feature works by showing you the proposed text to complete your sentence and then gives you the option to press the <strong>Tab<\/strong> key or the <strong>right cursor<\/strong> key to fill in the words based on Gmail\u2019s suggestion. On mobile, the principle is the same, it is just the execution that works a little differently. Whenever Gmail Smart Compose makes a suggestion you can accept it and include it in your email by <strong>swiping your finger right<\/strong> across the email you\u2019re writing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_images\/Demo_1_animation.gif\" width=\"800\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<p>Features like Smart Replies and Smart Compose are two of the ways that Google is trying to leverage its huge AI advantage to boost its core products. AI, however, is not without its problems and Smart Replies has already seen its fair share of issues.
