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.

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.

Weird that this feature works on mobile but not client. Usually it's the other way round.

You can do this... But only on the mobile app.

Completely agree with this and I don't understand who thought that a long line of disjointed replies was a good idea in the first place.
How on earth has this suggestion been in place since September 2018 and it hasn't been actioned! It is very difficult to keep conversations on track for people looking at them after other replies have already been written and possibly changed the direction of the conversation.

My colleagues and I use chat extensively, particularly since the Covid19 lockdown, and find it frustrating to have to resort to the mobile app when quoting a previous post. If "Reply" is available in channel conversations and is available in the IOS and Android apps for Chat conversations, could it please be made available in the desktop app Chat too!

This will help to answer to a particular person in group, or a particular context in the meeting. Ex whatsapp reply to particular person in group

Replying to or quoting others in a group chat is possible when using Teams mobile app. The same functionality is essential to be implemented for the desktop app as well.

Add this reply to the message button or link also to the one to one chat messages, like it is in the channel's messages!

This is a simple expected useful feature that is missing. iPhone Teams app can do that, why not the desktop app? As some of you mentioned, just like Telegram and WhatsApp. Click on 3 dots or right-click and reply to a particular message.
