Google has extended Smart Compose from Pixel phones to most other Android smartphones. And even when it can be useful, it can also be annoying if the suggestions are not available. If you do not like, turning it off is a simple procedure.
Smart Compose will finish your sentence for you
Smart Copy should not be confused with Smart Reply. Smart Reply will examine the email you have received and suggest quick responses that would be appropriate.. An email requesting a meeting tomorrow can result in a suggestion of intelligent response from “that would be great” and so on.
Smart Compose, on the other hand, is for the email you are actively writing (see the header image of this post). Think of it as something like Swiftkey on steroids. But the difference is that Swiftkey tries to predict the next word you will type and Smart Compose will try to predict the rest of the sentence. If you have entered, “I'm free for l”, Smart Response can suggest “Unmark on Saturday”. If you like the suggestion, you can swipe right on the words (not on keyboard) to accept them.
But not everyone is a fan of predictive text.; maybe you find it annoying, intrusive or does not suit your writing style enough. Fortunately, Google provided a simple procedure to disable Smart Compose.
How to turn off the smart compose feature
Open the Gmail Android app and tap on the hamburger menu in the upper right corner.
Touch “Setting”.
Touch an email account (you must repeat this procedure for each email account).
Scroll down to the How to Smart option and tap the box to uncheck it. Also you can disable Smart Reply here if you want.
And that's it, You should no longer see Smart Compose suggestions. If you have more email accounts, repeat the procedure for them. What if, after all, You decide you want Smart Compose suggestions, redial the previous option.
