How Smart Compose can be useful to Gmail users?
1. Saves your time by avoiding repetitive writing and you’ll end up typing less.
2. Since Smart Compose suggests complete the sentences, there is no chance of grammatical or spelling errors when you draft the emails using it.
3. Suggests common phrases in email from beginning to closing and in the middle. For e.g. in the beginning of email, it may suggest ‘how are you’ and in the end, on that day if it is Friday, it may suggest ‘happy weekend’ as the closure phrase.
Google says Smart Compose will appear to new Gmail users in the coming weeks.
To disable Smart Compose, visit General Settings and uncheck ‘Enable Experimental Access’ and save the changes to Gmail.
Note: If you’re using the Classic Gmail, you can activate the new Gmail in it. Click on the Gear icon on right and select ‘Try the new Gmail’.
