    "The team is hard at work on this highly requested feature" Since 2016? is that so much of a hard work that it couldn't be developed since years

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Re-post of one of the comments because I find I extremely frustrating that this feature was not even there in the beginning :

    As mentioned by others, this feature has been requested in countless other "ideas" since at least 2016. It's bewildering why this basic feature was overlooked to begin with but then made worse by remaining on the backlog for an eternity.

    This is very much needed, it's silly that on the desktop where the majority people utilize Teams, this is not available.

  • Gian Paolo commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    46.175 upvotes to date, for a feature asked first at november 2016.

    Does uservoice has any sense?

    We have all kinds of emoticons added on messages but simple reply feature is missing. How crazy is this?

    "The team is hard at work on this highly requested feature."

    Hahahahaa, Jeezus Christ, I think in 2025 the reply will be same.

    My earlier remark on Microsoft's true culture was deleted! I am glad it hit either Nadella or Alex or both for an awakening

    Thanks for the update.

    yes why is this only on mobile and not desktop? should definitely be on desktop please! :)

    Several people in my organisation who reported that they had the Reply function in their desktop Teams app about 2 weeks ago are now reporting that its gone again.

    Finally! It's about time Microsoft gave an update. Even this update promising an update is better than the silence, thank you!
    There is also an item in the roadmap for this, perhaps you can include this link Alex: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=81113
    That says it will roll out in June.

    I see below that some people (Max Shaw) already have this rolling out to them in version 1.4.00.11769
    I'm on the public preview and don't have that version yet, so I guess Max is part of an even earlier beta/preview version?

    tl;dr
    ROLLOUT: JUNE
    Already active for some

    Hi Alex, could you please state when we should expect to see this feature deployed to our Teams Desktop software?

    Everyone who works for a company that uses MS Teams instead of Slack (unfortunately), can you please also upvote (it only has 300 votes...) this related feature request for threaded messages in Teams chats so it can be closer to the Slack messaging experience: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38101108-enable-threading-within-a-chat

  • Sergei Wallace commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Glad to hear Microsoft is finally working on this basic chat feature that most modern messaging apps have at this point...

  • Phil commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Honestly makes me want to use slack instead. Should be simple to reply to a specific message or start a thread

  • Maurizio Macrina commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A workaround I'm using at the moment is:
    type: > and copy and paste the message you want to reply to press ENTER and type your reply.
    Once you send this, it makes it appear like you quoted the message.

    I know it's not ideal but it can be used until this "such difficult to implement feature" gets finally rolled out
