How to reply to a specific text message on the iPhone

If you like to text then this post is for you! Ever been texting with someone and realized you meant to reply to something they said earlier on, but now it wouldn’t make sense to reply to it unless you brought up the whole thing again? Here’s a way to skip all that. With this trick, you can easily reply directly to an earlier message.

Here’s an example of what it looks like when replying to a specific text message:

In order to reply to a specific message, open up your texts and find the text you want to reply to. Next, touch and hold the message itself until a bubble appears with options. Select: Reply.

Then you can send a message directly back to that specific text.

This opens up a new “sub chat” window. You can either continue the chat like that, or you can click off and move back to the main chat. You can also return to the sub chat by clicking and holding on one of the specific messages from the sub chat.

    With iOS 15.5 Copy, Translate & More appear as options – no Reply. Is there a work around?

      Hi there! Try this: go to your phone’s settings. Go to Face ID & Passcode. Scroll down until you see: Reply with Message. Toggle it on. That should work!

      Hi Steve,

      I’m sorry to hear that. When I updated my phone the reply option was still there. You may want to try calling Apple and they can help you!

        Hi Steve,

        To give you an update: I recently replied to another reader above on how to turn on the setting.

        Go to your phone’s settings. Go to Face ID & Passcode. Scroll down until you see: Reply with Message. Toggle it on. That should work!

    But you can’t just ‘click off’ and go back to the main chat. It gets stuck on the new feed.
    This seems to be an issue.

      Hi Paige,

      It should allow you to tap the screen above and outside of the new chat feed to return to the main chat. Hopefully that works for you!
