Gmail for Android introduced a new “quick response” interface inside e-mails last year, but Google seems to replace it with a simpler started bar.
With the quick response user interface, Gmail was aimed at a design inspired by the messaging application that allowed users to write / compose while displaying and referring to email. Google said the interface was “the best for quick and light answers”.
This was widely deployed for Android in August last year, but Google finally pulled It for users of workspace due to “performance and quality problems”. He remained available for personal accounts. (Note: Google did not deploy it to users who test the features of the AI in Labs workspace.)
The quick user interface now seems to have disappeared on the accounts we have verified today. In its place is a persistent toolbar for the answer, the answer, the reactions forward and forward and emoji. These are the same actions that only appeared if you scroll through an email.
It is anchored at the bottom of your screen and remains available when you scroll and read. It reduces real estate on the screen available, but the cut is not particularly drastic. If you have the lower bar for the cat and / or the activated meeting, the moored bar is stacked (although the lower navigation disappears when scrolling).
This moored response bar is not yet widely deployed, but appears on half of the devices / accounts that we have verified today Gmail 2025.05.04.x On Android.
