Express yourself and quickly respond to emails with emojis reactions in Gmail

What’s changing

We’re excited to introduce the ability for users to react to emails in Gmail with emojis. This new feature allows users to quickly respond, acknowledge receipt of an email, and express themselves more authentically.

Whether you’re using a gratitude emoji to thank a teammate, voting for a team dinner with a food emoji, or congratulating your client for reaching a milestone with a celebratory emoji, emoji reactions provide an expressive and personalized way of responding to emails.

Getting started

Admins: This feature will be OFF by default and can be enabled at the domain level by going to the Admin console > Apps > Gmail > End User Access > Emoji reactions. Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing Gmail settings for your users.
End users:

Reactions cannot be sent as a response if an email was received via a Google Group email alias or if there is a Google Group on the recipient list.
Emoji reactions are best experienced via the Gmail app on mobile and via Gmail.com on the web.
Visit the Help Center to learn more about replying to emails with emoji reactions and why you may get emoji reactions as an email.

This talk was personal for me; I offered my perspective both as someone privileged to work with amazing scientists driving solutions and as a cancer survivor. AI is accelerating scientific breakthroughs, supporting better clinical delivery and outcomes, and strengthening cybersecurity in an era of rising healthcare data breaches. From tools that aid early detection and treatment decisions, to agentic AI that helps clinicians stay current with the latest guidelines, we are already seeing powerful examples of what AI is making possible in healthcare. As Dr. Clifford Hudis , CEO of ASCO, my oncologist and friend once said to me: “AI is a critical part of democratizing healthcare – so that everyone, everywhere can have access to the best insights” that are invaluable to achieving the best outcomes. AI will not cure canc...
