How to disable Smart Reply in the new Gmail?


I like the new Gmail, and I like Inbox form Gmail, but I really cannot stand the "Smart Replies" feature, those poor already-made replies at the bottom of messages. In the mobile app it is possible to disable the feature, but I cannot understand why this is not possible in the web version!

How can I disable Smart Reply?


Solution

  • UPDATE 10/1/18: You can now disable Smart Reply from Gmail's General Settings page. Scroll down to the Smart Reply section.

    enter image description here

    (PRIOR HACK FOR DISABLING: Use adblock. You can use Adblock for Chrome or any other adblock browser extension. It is just a div element with class="brb". If you want to add it manually the custom filter is mail.google.com##DIV[class="brb"], but depending on which extension you use you can usually right click the smart reply element and select "block".)
