Feature Announcement: Quoted Replies

Quoted replies enhance communication in both 1:1 and group chats by allowing users to directly reference specific messages, thereby improving clarity and context, especially in busy or large conversations. This feature enables users to attach a quoted version of an original message to their response using a "reply" button, which helps prevent confusion when responding to earlier messages without context. The quoted messages appear inline with the rest of the chat, linking the new message to the original one. By facilitating clear referencing, quoted replies help ensure that conversations remain coherent and easy to follow. Stream Chat offers an opportunity to test this functionality for free.
