Not all emails require a verbose reply. Sometimes you just need to say “Thanks,” “OK” or “Great idea.” This is the point Quick Replies come in handy. Spark allows you to send a short reply to an email in just two taps. You can use a number of default Quick Replies as well as create your own ones.
Turn on Quick Replies
- Click Spark at the top left of your screen.
- Open Settings > General.

- Tick Enable.
In Spark for iOS, Quick Replies are always available, so you don't need to take any steps to turn them on.
