Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

With the new update I can no longer hit reply to certain messages. How can I do that again? This is very frustrating!

with the latest update I can no longer toggle over message and reply to a text message. It only has copy, translate, and more. Please help! I really like the reply option.

Question marked as Best answer

Is this an iMessage, or is this an SMS coming from a non-iOS device? That Reply is only available for iMessage, and that is where your message bubbles are blue. If they are green is an SMS and you cannot reply that way.
