Google Suite Updates - GMail Phone App

Google is constantly updating their services and ensuring that they are delivering a product that is more and more useful. In the past week or so, Google updated their iOS and Android GMail apps to include canned responses that you can quickly send.

In this email, you can see that at the bottom I am given some choices on how to respond. These can be the start of a reply or the whole reply, it is up to you. This is meant to make it easier to respond to questions via the GMail app and help you manage your email.

You should see this in your GMail app on your phone. If you don't, try updating your apps to see if it appears. Some emails will not generate the canned responses. I have found that it tends to be ones that have a large list of recipients or is part of a longer chain of emails.

If you have any questions, let me know.
