The smart replies in Gmail are one of its most interesting features. In general, Google includes such features to improve user productivity and make the e-mail application more agile. With smart replies, Gmail displays suggested responses to quickly reply to incoming messages. For example, if you receive an email with a file attached, the application would advise you to reply with "Thank you very much" or "Ok, received".
To know the most appropriate responses, the service must read the content of the message. Of course, this can be a problem for many users, as they feel that their privacy is being violated. However, you should know that Gmail already scans your emails for other issues, such as automatic spam detection. If that is your motivation for turning off smart replies, we are afraid that changing this setting will not affect your privacy, either for better or worse. In fact, if you want to enjoy a private email, we recommend that you register on other platforms.
