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.

    This was posted 8 months ago. Missing this feature is really annoying. When can we expect that this will be launched?? Nearly 40000 have voted for this feature, and i am quite sure if all the users that really are missing this feature was aware of this poll, the counter would probably have exploded ;)

    How is this so hard to get working? Microsoft is falling behind on workplace chat collaboration?

    MS should take the request more seriously and make it work as this is a simple request but a very important one in the user experience and user adoption of Teams. Can we at least expect a delivery date? It is long overdue.

    Come on Microsoft, you can do better than this. Your Admin, Alex spoke about this feature being on the backlog back in May 2020 - 9 months ago!
    If your engineers are unsure how to code this, please ask them to talk to their IT colleagues at WhatsApp.

    WE NEED THIS FEATURE OF IN CHAT REPLY QUOTES!!!!

    Seems like even after so many people feedback since 2020 but there is still no news...

    This is something that would make my job so much easier! I don't want to have to pick up my phone every time I want to use the reply option.

    Wow, already 3917 responses and the latest update from MS is from May last year, telling us "don't call us, we'll call you?

    Great that it's in mobile, but I don't do my work on my cell phone, I work on a desktop. :)

  • Eric commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Basically inexcusable to not have this available on desktop at this point

    Please add this function. One half of the work is already done (mobile).
