Why though
This is giving me โhow do you do, fellow kidsโ vibes.
Yes, it's a massive level of cringe.
Gmail is convenient, but if it's about to be filled with ๐ and ๐ then I've got to stop using it for any serious communication.
I work at a large company so get a lot of emails. This could conceivably cutdown on the amount of "Nice job!" type emails that don't really have much substance.
Oh that's a good point, it could help in professional settings
If it cuts down the Reply to All good job chains, Iโm for it.
Outlook has had this for a while, and I use it a fair bit to acknowledge that I've read the email, but without actually replying.
Because innovation is their passion, and clearly e-mail needed to be innovated on.
Eh.. They chose to use the email protocol to send each emoji?! So external users or third-party clients (or school and work accounts for some reason) will be spammed. Won't a bunch of gmails get marked as spammers then?
Why?
๐คทโโ๏ธ
Can we not
I'm struggling to think of a use case for this. Why not just reply and put an emoji in there?
Are you talking generally about emoji reactions or just when it comes to email?
I would think just email. Who uses email for anything other than formal communication anymore where it would be inappropriate to use emoji reactions?
Reactions are fine for casual messaging, but email just isn't that kind of social platform.
I assume it's to cut down on wasted space from "thumbs up" and "Okay" emails.
I thought you just reply with the letter "J" that's the convention, right?

Great!
More reasons to use Gmail Go or an alternative e-mail client. ๐ค๐ฅ๏ธ
Or switch off Gmail altogether.
