![]() ![]() I've become obsessed with the quote reply feature over the last few months. It's like the WhatsApp version of a quote tweet. The message you’re responding to appears above your witty retort, so it’s clear what you’re replying to. A swipe right on the message also activates the feature. In a group chat, a long press on a message will bring up the option to reply specifically to that message – even if it's several scrolls back in history by now. The quote reply's usability is painfully simple. A group chat turned bad can soon begin to feel like a pile-on, and the frantic rush to keep up can lead to messages being disastrously misinterpreted. Everyone has an opinion and almost everyone is writing and responding to messages at once. Look away from the group for a few hours – because you're working, or have a life away from your smartphone – and there can be hundreds of notifications demanding your attention. Just one message provoking debate, controversy or memes can turn a group into a place that isn’t fun to be. A single trigger can turn any of these once-peaceful WhatsApp groups into an avalanche of messages. ![]()
