Meta is testing threaded message replies in WhatsApp for iPhone to enhance structured conversations, spotted by WEBetaInfo in the current WhatsApp for iOS beta.
The feature is in a partially working state with a reply counter indicating threaded replies. Users can tap the counter to view the full thread and reply directly within it.
The new feature allows for organized views of related messages within the thread ensuring continuity and grouping of messages together.
Threaded replies help maintain natural flow in conversations by separating specific message responses from the main chat, making them ideal for group chats and discussions involving multiple topics.
