Android N\u00a0is turning out to be an impressive update. While the new Android iteration brings various features\u00a0and\u00a0changes, we particularly like the quick reply feature. We can easily reply to\u00a0messages, update task lists and do more with the feature and it comes with messaging apps. In this way, it\u2019s nothing unexpected that people need new feature on their Android devices.<\/p>\n

While you have the choice of waiting for the Android N update, we wouldn\u2019t mention\u00a0it\u00a0because we know the wait for Android updates can get long. You don\u2019t need to wait, as there\u2019s a cool new app that\u00a0brings the Android N quick reply feature to any Android device.<\/p>\n

Here we discuss about how to get the Android N quick reply feature on any Android\u00a0device running Marshmallow or Lollipop with the quickReply app:<\/p>\n

Install and Enable the App<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

First, you have to install the\u00a0quickReply app<\/a>\u00a0on your Android device. The app is in beta and it\u2019s\u00a0available only for devices running Android 5.0 and above<\/strong>, so if you have an Android device running older Android versions, you are out of luck.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve installed the quickReply app, you\u2019ll have to\u00a0grant the app \u201cnotification access\u201d<\/strong>. When you first start the app, it will prompt you for the permission but in case you miss out then, you can do so by going to\u00a0Settings->Sounds & notification->Notification access<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Start Sending Quick Replies<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Once you have enabled the app, you will automatically see\u00a0buttons for inline actions on\u00a0notifications from messaging apps. The notifications have buttons for\u00a0\u201cReply\u201d, \u201cDirect\u201d and \u201cRead\u201d<\/strong>. As you may have estimated, the Reply button reply to a message or email directly from the notification shade and it looks identical to Android N\u2019s implementation. The\u00a0Direct button lets you send one of the preset messages<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Read button lets you mark messages as read<\/strong>. Furthermore,\u00a0you can use the quick reply actions from the lock screen as well.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The app even groups notifications that are available for quick replies on the lock screen and notification shade in a ChatHeads like layout, so that you can easily tap one of the icons to start a quick reply.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h4>\n

While the\u00a0quick reply and direct message reply features work for various messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Hangouts, Threema, Skype, Line, WeChat, Kik, EvolveSms, YAATA, Textra, ChompSms, Handcent SMS along with Gmail and the stock Android messaging app, the \u201cMark as read\u201d<\/strong> features only works with WhatsApp,\u00a0Telegram,\u00a0Skype, WeChat, Threema, Kik and Evolve SMS.<\/p>\n

Customize the Quick Reply Experience<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The quickReply\u00a0app works fine out of the box and in fact,\u00a0you can simply install the app, enable it and never even need to open it again<\/strong>. But, if you need to personalize the look & actions of the\u00a0quick replies, the app lets you do that.<\/p>\n

Initially, you can head over the \u201cBasic settings<\/strong>\u201d of the app and\u00a0enable\/disable\u00a0one of the reply actions. You can also select to disable ChatHeads notification here and change its display mode. There\u2019s also the option to filter contacts and remove original notifications from apps.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Also, you can\u00a0customize the look of the quick reply\u00a0box<\/strong>.\u00a0You can enable \u201cAutocolor\u201d, which colorizes the reply box depending on app icon color. You can additionally go for the \u201cMinimal layout\u201d, which hides icons and message and only displays reply text.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

There are other cool features as well but they are only available in the\u00a0<\/strong>Pro version<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0($2.29)<\/strong>\u00a0of the app. The quickReply Pro version brings features including the ability to \u201cWake screen on notifications\u201d<\/strong>, add emoji button besides quick reply on notifications and\u00a0add more direct replies. Furthermore, it brings the ability to change the style of send button, background &\u00a0layout in quick replies and the size of ChatHeads notification.<\/p>\n
