Thank you for your continued feedback. As many people have pointed out, this is available on mobile today. Support for replying to a specific message is on the backlog for desktop. I’ll let you know when we have progress to share. Thanks.

    Guys, suggest you all to hit the star button on the bottom right on this page and leave a low rating, it is only when these MS employees merit increase and bonuses get hit, will they listen!!!

    Any news on when this will be available on the desktop version. It's quite frustrating not having this.

    Adding my vote for a way to comment directly to a message, using my desktop app—which is what most of use to communicate in Teams, it sounds like. Very annoying to not be able to do that. I don't know why it would be in "backlog" and not on the front burner—with nearly 3K people asking for it here, you know there's another 100K wishing it were there. My two cents.

    Nothing like having to vote for a feature that already exists on one platform just not the other. Pretty sure most people use Teams on desktop not on their phones.

    Please add this feature asap. The fact that it was implemented on mobile and not on desktop seems to me like a massive oversight considering Teams is a large scale business IM software

    Come on! Could not be so complicated. If a mobile user answers in a chat with reply-to it shows properly in the desktop app. You just need an option in the ... menu.

    It has been too long, when can get this absolute necessary feature... not sure what is stopping to implement whatever is present at mobile app.

    I just CANNOT BELIEVE that this feature isn't available on desktop. I mean, what the **** were you thinking, guys? YOU'RE BUILDING A MESSENGER! it's like the very first feature that you should have implemented. Backlog my ***.

    Being available on mobile is not an appropriate response I don't think Alex. When you say that you are implying/implicitly asking the user to *not* use the desktop app. Is that your intention?

    Plus, it was already acknowledged by the issue raiser.

    A better response would have simply been to acknowledge and say that the issue is on backlog. The ackowlegde->suggest an unhelpful non-solution->have it on backlog is just bad form.

    Hope this was helpful

    Please implement this as high priority for desktop app. With an increasing adoption of teams such critical feature is a big impediment for using teams as an IM other than just having conference calls. Have to stick to our existing IM instead of using Teams.
