WhatsApp is working on support for threaded message replies | Infinium-tech
WhatsApp is currently working on what a very requested feature is: Threaded Messages Support for Answer. It is currently in development, and once ends (in which it may take a long time, by), it should make its way to a chat, group chat, communities and channels.
With the support of threads, once you answer a quoted message, the thread will be connected to the original message, thus ensuring that all its reactions remain organized. So instead of scrolling through a long list of individual answers for a message, you will be able to see them all in a dedicated thread and see, as is seen to the bottom right in the screenshot.
However, it seems that you will need to tap on an answer to enter the thread – the threads will not automatically show the original message right as they do on the reddit, for example. Is it a better option in practice, it remains to be seen.
This will be welcomed especially in a very busy group chat, where the discussion can quickly be heavy. In this way, every message will have its own thread to reply and thus innumerable different interactions in a group will be very easy to follow without losing any reference.
