Quick Reply on Lock Screen

Since I updated to iOS 15, I don’t have any way to be able to use quick reply like I’ve done for YEARS. I’ve troubleshooted over and over again. I’ve made sure all of my settings are set correctly; and that should allow me to reply on my Lock Screen instead of having to actually open up messages to reply back. I think it’s a glitch. I’ve done everything possible! Please, help anyone.. if you know how to help, let me know. I’d be forever grateful! Thank you so much!

Thanks for keeping the thread up to speed kortnie257,


Are you not getting any response at all, if you hold your finger on the message, rather than quickly tap it?


If not, try changing the touch duration from Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Haptic Touch. You can also test the Haptic Touch on that screen. After testing with the image on that screen, use the same gesture on a Messages notification to see whether there's any change.


The following page provides additional info on the options available there: Use Touch Accommodations with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch


If the behavior persists, contact Apple Support.


Take care!

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities kortnie257,


We understand you want to be able to respond to message from your iPhone's Lock Screen.


You can do this by touching and holding on the notification for the message that you see on the Lock Screen, or swiping left or right on the notification to reveal the "View" option.


Additional guidance on this is available here: Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We hope this helps!
