Replying to old texts

My friends have the capability to reply to an older text in a iMessage conversation. They click the old message and an option appears to reply. The recipient then sees a sort of bracket show up connecting to the older message which now moves to the front of the conversation. I can’t do it on my iPhone 7 (14.4.1). Is there a setting I can adjust?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Hello Sneeve,


Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you're wanting to use inline replies to reply to certain iMessages; we're happy to assist with you!


The steps on our Apple Support page can help you get the most from the iMessage app and reply to a specific message: Reply to specific messages on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


This should be what you were looking for, we're glad we could assist.

Cheers!
