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

    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.

    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.

    Forty thousand votes???

    My workaround is to reply via phone app. Not ideal, though.

    Love this on mobile but really need this for group chats in the web and desktop apps. Is it time to get this off the backlog yet?

  • Arwin van Arum commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Surely this can't be a lot of work to implement? Add an option to the more actions called Quote, and do what the app version does, presto. Surely some developer can spare a few hours for this?

    Yes please add this feature soon, how many times i try to keep up with several conversations

    With all the necessary respect! This feature should be available without any survey!
