Emojis were already almost everywhere. Everywhere except Gmail. Would you like your email service to provide this functionality? Well, whether you do or not, it’s here now. Gmail is getting emoji reactions, starting with Android phones and tablets.

Undoubtedly, if this proves popular, it will quickly spread to iOS and the web. Similar to how your favorite chat app already does it, emoji reactions will be available on every Gmail message. After opening a message, scroll down and you’ll find the new emoji reaction button on the right Answer, Reply to allAND Forward. Tap it and you’ll get a row of emojis you can react with, tap the one you want and that’s it, you’ve reacted.

Unsurprisingly, you’re not limited to the default selection of emojis to react with. By tapping the plus button at the end of the row you can add more. All reactions to an email will be visible at the bottom, and if you tap and hold on each one you’ll find out who reacted that way. If you simply tap (without holding) an existing reaction, you will also react the same way.
