iMessage reply to specific messages

Why cant one reply to particular messages on like what you have on whatsapp and Telegram? isn't it time to get that updated or would we have to buy that feature in IOS 20.2.0 :-) ?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Thank you for the explanation. However, you are correct, that is not a current function of Messages. I've never seen that as a function of SMS which on uses on Android devices. You can provide feedback to Apple about specific features you would like to see here, www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html They read all feedback, however do not provide individual responses.

He is talking about the capability to reply to a specific message farther up in a conversation. I am familiar with this functionality in Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. It creates a link to the past message underneath the latest reply to it. I really need this functionality as well.
