Respond to email from your iOS or Android device — directly from a push notification, or from inside a thread.
Quick Reply
Quick Reply lets you respond to email straight from a Mobile notification, so you can move on without opening your Superhuman inbox. It's built for the low-stakes moments where speed matters most — "Sounds good," "On it," "Thanks."
iOS
- Long-press the Superhuman Mail notification.
- Tap Quick Reply All.
- Type your response in the inline composer, then tap Send.
💡 Tip: A regular tap on the push notification opens the email in the Superhuman Mail app. To reply without leaving your lock screen or home screen, use a long-press.
Android
- Tap Quick Reply All on the Superhuman Mail notification.
- Type your response in the inline reply field, then tap Send.
Reply to an earlier message in a thread
To action an earlier message in a thread:
- Open a thread in the Superhuman Mail app.
- Swipe left on the message you want to respond to.
- Choose Reply or Reply All from the menu that appears.
FAQs
Who does my Quick Reply send to?
Quick Reply sends to everyone on the thread — the same as Reply All. On iOS, you’ll also see a Quick Reply All option in the long-press menu.
Can I undo a Quick Reply?
Yes. You can undo a Quick Reply within a short window after sending:
- iOS: Open Mail within 30 seconds and tap Undo on the send toast.
- Android: Tap Undo directly from the notification within 20 seconds.
Is my signature included in a Quick Reply?
Yes. Quick Reply uses the signature you’ve set in Mail.
What if I want to see the full thread or write a longer reply?
Quick Reply is built for short responses. Tap the notification to open the email in the Mail app and reply with the full composer. On iOS, use a regular tap — a long-press triggers Quick Reply instead.
Why doesn’t Quick Reply appear on my iPhone?
Make sure push notifications are turned on for Mail.
- iOS: Go to Settings → Notifications → Superhuman Mail and switch on Allow Notifications. Then long-press any new notification to see Quick Reply — a regular tap opens the app instead.
- Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Superhuman Mail → Notifications and switch on notifications. The Quick Reply button appears automatically on the notification.
Muted threads won’t show Quick Reply, since they don’t trigger a notification in the first place.
