    Seriously, it is 2021, every app should have it, including desktop app, don't wait for enough upvotes, otherwise Teams will only be used when we have to...

    What's taking so long? I have yet to reply on a question my teacher asked me in September!

    such a basic functionnality not implemented yet on a desktop version ! are you serious ?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I can't believe that this still isn't a feature on the desktop app. Surely this should have been in the original version. Not something that is still on the backlog. Just get it done.

    Hey Alex, could you provide us with an update please? This is such a crucial feature!

  • Herve commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Its hard to understand what is the internal process and information points resulting in the decision to have different user experiences and functionalities for the same app across platforms. Particularly for such a basic function which is absolutely necessary to have a ineligible interaction in groups of more than 4-5 people. Its staggering that the app could pass MVP without this functionality.

    Can you pls advise the current update, the last one was May7, 2020, 9months back. Hope there has been some progress and we have some expected delivery dates.

    please make this work - it's literally making us consider switching out of teams

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    this is the single most reason why I keep missing slack chat conversations. Please launch this asap.

  • Hendry Hendratno commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    hello, please add this to the sprint backlog for desktop rather than to the product backlog for desktop, this feature will be a big impact that will make everyone switch to using Teams

    Only nearly 40,000 votes and its still in the backlog. Pathetic.

    Find myself pulling out my phone to use threaded replies when conversing in desktop app. Unfortunate this feature hasn't pushed yet given originally mentioned ~8 months ago.

  • Bhawani Shanker commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    it been more than 6 months, when this will be available. This is already available in the mobile app and on channels (desktop), seems its just not getting priortize.

    This is business mission critical to have proper communication.
