Summary
Google Messages is rolling out a new "Tap to draft" feature for Smart Replies that prevents accidental message sends. Previously, tapping a Smart Reply would immediately send the message, causing some users to disable the feature entirely. With the new behavior, selecting a Smart Reply adds it to the text box instead, allowing users to review, edit, and manually press send before the message goes out. The feature must be enabled in settings.
