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.

Is there a User Experience person in your team at all? This should have been rolled out from the very beginning. This is standard for messaging services today. We were using FB Workplace chat, got changed by IT to Teams and now we can't quote each other's messages. We are a team of 5 people, do you understand how hard it is to have clear communications without this feature? Please work faster on this, it's been in your backlog for more than 8 months. Thanks.

This is why we still use Viber in big group chats, Teams desktop chat simply doesn't cut it without this

This is so needed on desktop. Most people are desk-based so we don't use Teams on our tiny mobile screens much.

Another comment to say this is taking way too long, it sends a negative message to us users. Tell us it's "On the backlog" since May 2020 with zero updates since then basically means it is NOT on the backlog or it means that it takes 1 year or more to implement a very simple feature that is already in the mobile version. By that timeframe, any organically new feature requests will take several years. Please allow me to state the obvious: this is a much needed feature in the most used collaboration platform in the world!

It is the top-voted issue and still on the backlog (since almost a year!), What's wrong?

If you want to surf on the current WhatsApp rejection, get this feature working on the desktop app ASAP.

It feels like Teams is just in Beta.

This is essential in group chat scenarios. It's bonkers to me that the mobile client should be more feature rich in some areas than the desktop variant.
Please consider prioritising this as I feel it's pretty core to the chat experience

It's ridiculous that this still hasn't had an update since May 2020, or better yet actually been implemented! How many votes does it take?!
Dear Microsoft; you want people to use your product; you want to develop and grow the market share, you've all but finished killing Skype off at this point. Please for the love of all that is decent start implementing functional changes to Teams that the community actually wants!

this is the top idea, the most wanted feature and the message from Microsoft is: "you already have this on the mobile app. are you not satisfied?"
****, just do it, just finish it and we can brainstorm about real "new" ideas again -

This is a bit crazy now... It's a /basic/ feature of messaging software... Why the wait?
