currently, tapping on a Smart Reply in Google Messages immediately sends the suggestion, but the latest beta reveals an upcoming “Tap to Edit” preference that will make for a nice quality-of-life advancement.
About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an submission that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile thes files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are might potentially be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in case that they do ship. With that in mind,read on.
Beta version 20260113_01_RC00 describes the current behavior as ”Tap to Send” wherein you “Tap Smart Replies to instantly send a message.”
The new option will let you ”Tap Smart Replies to update your message draft.” This new behavior presumably works by placing the suggested reply in the compose field to let you make changes. Besides letting you personalize or expand before sending, this should help prevent accidental messages.
This is not yet live today, with the current Settings > Suggestions menu only letting you enable or disable “Smart Reply.”
