reply to messages
much like whatsapp where you can reply to a specific message and that particular message will be quoted alongside the reply. Also the function to reply privately to a message sent in a group setting would be helpful

Thank you for your continued feedback. As many have pointed out, this is available on mobile today. Support for replying to a specific message is on the backlog for desktop. We will share an update as soon as one is available.
Note: This is tracked as a top request in the public forum as well – you can follow status here if interested: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39353152.

This function is really required in desktop app in order to have a consistent user experience. Nobody understands why it is here on teams channels but not on teams chats.

Please, bring this feature in finally! I don't know anyone at my workplace who uses a smartphone version, all is on a desktop working. Speaking on behalf of several hundred people who I know personally at my organization with 2,000 employees. I wonder if I spread the message and get those hundreds to drop a comment here, what would be the result?

As an end-user, I would like to be able to directly reply to messages so that I can keep the context of the conversation central, and specific. -

This is very important thing that "reply to particular message" option must have provided.

MS treating this as an big item in the backlog, promising the feature soon etc. All this is really funny. Just implement it already! How much development time is required? Half an hour? As of now I am using the manual & laborious way of replying by copy pasting the message and adding it with the > prefix.

I only found out how to reply, but not the proper way, hopefully, Microsoft can consider putting this feature which only can be used from the Teams mobile apps
Example:
1. Select the chat you would like to reply, and copy the words
2. Click Shift button + > to create a box, and paste the words
3. Press Enter twice, then you can put your comments. -

Additionally to this improvement letting reply to a concrete previous message even in a 1-to-1 conversation for mobile, desktop and web clients, it would be great that the reply let you go to the original message (the one selected to reply) with a click, to access the other messages around the one that is being replied for conversation context.
