 How to disable Smart Replies in the New Gmail

The latest “Smart Reply ” feature in Gmail is advantageous, but it could overrun privacy. We have brought you how to disable smart replies in Gmail if you don’t need them.

The new “Smart Reply” feature is added by Google to its Gmail Service on Android and iOS. It functions by scanning emails when you get them. Then after suggesting the pre-formulated replies that will be supportive for you.

As an example, if you receive an invitation to a birthday party, the auto responses will say like “I will be there”, “Sorry I cannot make it”, or “Thanks I will reply to you soon.”

If you are under a continuous storm of email requests, the accessibility of one tap reply is very useful. Anyhow, if you are not satisfied with Google scanning of the words you receive in the emails, you can turn on or off that feature. Luckily it is a very easy task.

How to disable Smart Replies in Gmail

5. Scroll to General > Smart reply.
