This is the best summary I could come up with:
Last month the popular webmail app shipped an emoji reactions bar 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 Android Police goes another step further: a quick reply bar that looks just like instant messaging input.
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.
An "expand" button will presumably launch the usual compose interface.
So far, this seems to be an extremely rare test that only one person has gotten, so it will not necessarily roll out to everyone.
Given the recent emoji launch, though, Gmail certainly seems jealous of its instant-messaging cousins.
