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.

The lack of a Reply in Chat trains users to reply using the bottom "Start a new conversation" text box. This carries over to channel posts where they fragment conversations by replying using the same method.
I would go so far as to say get rid of that bottom text box altogether and add a deliberate button for starting a new topic in both Chat and Post. Users need a more obvious way to keep things together. -

Hopefully, it can release asap since the function was enabled in the mobile version.

1. Copy the Message you want to reply to. (Together with the persons name and time if you want)
2. Go to where you type the new message, before you paste do "Shift + >" and it will create a small grey like bar,
3. Paste the message you want to reply to,
4. Press "Enter" button twice to leave the grey bra to a space under it,
5 . And type your reply and send. -

It must be the people at MS don't use Teams. I can't understand why this isn't done yet

Njabulo Kubheka option is valid but merely sthetic, it doesn't have the follow message option, it is useless in long conversations

Would this allow threading in chat or just the ability to reply to a specific message with a call back to it? Really I'd love to see chat have a threading feature.
