For many users group chats are still a real pain. Chats in which only garbage is collected in the form of photos, videos and chain messages, among which important information and messages are lost. Chats with coworkers, groups of friends from the university, the chat of parents from the school”¦ All this crossing screenshots of the type “you said that”¦” , forwarding important messages from the past that interrupt new threads of conversation and, in general, a roost of messages, replies and unconnected text that could be solved .And no, we are not referring to exit and delete the group, although many would like to, but to the possibility of reply to messages or group them A feature that, if known, would make things much easier for users in all groups.
This function has been present in WhatsApp, and it is very similar to what could already be done in the well-knownTelegram With it it is possible to reply to a message. But not through a new disconnected message that is posted much later in the same chat, but by directly mentioning the initial message next to the reply so that there is no doubt. In this way the answer is clear and direct for all the members of the group, there is no problem of interpretation, whose question is who and who is the one who answers and to what
How messages are grouped
The function is really easy to use, and integrates naturally into the application. In addition, you can reply to specific messages on any platform: Android, iOS, andWindows Phone All you have to do is make a long press on the message you want to reply to. This will bring up a number of features already available on WhatsApp
The one that interests us in this case is Answer, whose icon is an arrow to the left, located at the top left in the case of mobile phones Android When clicking on this option, frames the selected messageand the user is urged to write the answer that he wants to give In this way, a new message is created in the conversation that groups the two, indicating who created the original message, and who replied to itA clear answer in a group where many other messages from other people can be crossed and misinterpreted.
Also, if you still need more context because the original message is very old, just click on it on the given and shared response to jump directly to that moment in the chat Something any member can do instead to ask new questions and saturate the conversation with new messages that may have already been answered at the time.
In this way, you could put an end to confusion in group chats and, above all, to redundant messages that end up filling your phone with notifications just to explain the same thing over and over again. Just have the application WhatsApp updated and remember that it is possible to perform this option on any message from a group chat from the past.
