QUICK REPLIES
Quick Replies let business accounts send frequent messages to customers: thanks to this feature, you can create keyboard quick shortcuts to use.
This is a feature available for WhatsApp Business, so it should only be visible when you use WhatsApp Web with a business account, but some people reported that it was possible to use Quick Replies with standard WhatsApp accounts:
It is obviously a bug. It is not possible to use quick replies if you don't use WhatsApp Business since it is an exclusive business tool, and it has been enabled by mistake for everyone. For this reason, WhatsApp is now removing the feature for standard WhatsApp accounts. Note that if you use WhatsApp Business, you can still send frequent messages by selecting Quick Replies from the chat share menu.
