THREADED MESSAGE REPLIES
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.7.7 update, we announced that a feature to organize message replies into threaded conversations is under development. This feature will allow users to view and follow replies grouped under the original message, enabling a more structured and coherent chat experience. By keeping related responses connected in a dedicated thread, users can easily navigate conversations without losing context, especially in busy group chats. It appears that WhatsApp now intends to bring the same message reply functionality to iOS users in the future, ensuring a consistent experience across both platforms. Following the release of the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.19.10.80 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to organize message replies into structured threads!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a feature that will display a dedicated screen showing all replies associated with a specific message, scheduled for release in a future update. Each message bubble will include a small indicator showing the number of replies contained in its associated thread. This detail will allow users to understand how many responses are connected to a particular message, without needing to open the thread.
By tapping on this indicator, users will be able to open a new screen that displays all replies related to the original message in an organized view. This makes it easier for users to track discussions, especially when conversations become lengthy or fragmented. Within this new screen, users will not only be able to read all the replies but also send a new reply directly, which will automatically be added to the same thread. This ensures continuity and keeps related messages neatly grouped together.
This feature will helps users track conversations more efficiently. Instead of scrolling through an entire chat history to find all responses to a particular message, users can just open the thread and focus on the specific discussion. Additionally, this functionality is especially useful in group chats, where a high volume of messages can make it difficult to follow individual replies. When several participants respond to the same message, threads will help avoid confusion by organizing responses in one place.
Users will no longer have to scroll through the entire chat history or search for the original message manually just to understand what a reply is referring to. Instead, they will be able to open a dedicated thread view that clearly displays the full sequence of responses connected to the initial message. This organized view will help preserve the flow of conversation and reduce confusion, particularly in situations where several users are replying simultaneously.
A feature to organize message replies into structured threads is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app. We will keep you updated on any further developments about this feature until it's officially released.
