These features are all shown in this article for folks using iMessage, which requires your recipient to be using Apple equipment.

Use inline replies and mentions in Messages on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

I’m referring to group text messages. I can only pin my group message but all the new features w/ the update aren’t available. I have checked message settings and restarted my phone over and over. But the features are not available.

Mentions

Direct a message to an individual in a group conversation by typing the person’s name. You can customize a particularly active group so you receive notifications only when you are mentioned.

Inline replies

You can reply directly to a specific message in a group conversation. See all related messages in their own view to easily keep track of a thread.

Set group photo

Set an image for your group conversation using a photo, Memoji, or emoji that is shared with all members of the group.

Yes!

Tell us what “inline and mentions features” might mean. We cannot possibly know.

Which inline features are you referring to? Can you refer to one or more specific features that you believe are not working? That will help us better answer your question. Thanks.
