Apple Mail sees a lot of changes thanks to the Apple Intelligence update, with priority mail bumping timely messages to the top of your inbox and summary tools giving you the ability to read AI-generated summaries of messages and message threads. But the new tools don't stop there — Mail also adds the ability to send smart replies, or auto-generated responses to emails.
This sounds an awful lot like a similar smart reply feature in Google's Gmail, and to a certain extent, it is. As with Gmail, the canned responses appear as options when you reply to a message in Apple Mail, and you tap the one you want to use as a reply. But Apple Intelligence's take on smart replies takes things one step further — it includes additional replies for providing more specifics on deadlines, availability and other information requested by the original email.
