Google unveils major Gmail change that will save you tons of time replying to emails
GMAIL users will soon receive a brand new feature which should save loads of time.
Google is adding the ability to react to emails with an emoji.
It'll work in a very similar way to WhatsApp and Facebook.
So next time a friend sends you a photo of their holiday or pet dog, there's no need to write a response.
Android users with Gmail will get the feature first.
And it'll roll out to web and iOS users over the next few months.

A funky screen animation will also pop out when you send one.
How to send reactions on Gmail
Once it's arrived on your account, you will notice a series of emoji at the bottom of your emails.
Select the one you wish to send and the sender will see it.
If the email is sent to multiple people, you will see what others have reacted as well.

However, both sender and receiver will have to be a Gmail user to get the full effect.
If you attempt to react to something sent by a friend on Outlook, the reaction will just appear as a separate email.
There's also a limit - only emails with a maximum of 20 recipients will display emoji reactions.
