WhatsApp tests threaded message replies feature on Android, iOS: What is it
New Delhi
WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will allow users to reply to messages in a thread format, which will make chats experience more organised and easier to follow. According to WhatsApp update tracker WABetaInfo, replies will be arranged under the original message in a group chat, creating a clear and structured conversation flow. The feature is designed to help users track conversations easily instead of scrolling through an entire chat history to find all responses to a particular message.
The threaded reply feature was first spotted in the Android beta version 2.25.7.7. Now, WhatsApp is working on bringing the same feature to iOS devices ensuring a consistent experience across both platforms. It is expected to be part of a future update.
WhatsApp's threaded message reply feature: How it works
According to the report, when someone replies to a message, a small icon will appear on the original message bubble showing how many replies are attached. By tapping this icon, users can open a dedicated screen that displays all replies linked to that message. This will make it easy to track a conversation without scrolling through the entire chat and search for the original message manually just to understand what a reply is referring to.
Users will also be able to send new replies directly within this thread view, which will keep everything related to that topic in one place. This feature is said to be helpful in group chats, where messages come in quickly and it's easy to lose track of who's replying to what. When many people respond to the same message, threaded replies will keep all related responses grouped together. This will reduce confusion and make conversations easier to follow.
Instead of searching the chat for the original message or wondering what a reply refers to, users can simply open the thread and see all related messages in order. As per the report, this clean layout is expected to improve communication and reduce misunderstandings in group and individual chats.

Epic Games settles lawsuit against Samsung over app controls
Samsung has settled claims that it conspired with Alphabet's Google to shield its app store Google Play from competition, "Fortnite" video game maker Epic Games said on Monday. Epic in a court filing dismissed its claims against Samsung in an antitrust case it filed against both companies last year in federal court in San Francisco, California. Epic also withdrew some related allegations against Google. Samsung, the world's largest Android phone manufacturer, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Epic's court filing did not describe the terms of the settlement, and the company declined to provide more information. "We are grateful that Samsung will address Epic's concerns," Epic chief executive Tim Sweeney said Monday in a post on the social media platform X. Google had no immediate comment. Both companies had denied wrongdoing. Epic's lawsuit focused on Samsung's mobile security feature Auto Blocker, which Epic said was intended to deter users from downloading apps from sources other than Google Play or Samsung's Galaxy store. A narrow part of Epic's case will continue against Google over what Epic said were continued efforts to dissuade users from downloading apps from sources other than Play. Fortnite, a battle royale game released in 2017, is one of the world's most popular video games. In a separate case, Google has appealed a jury verdict and court ruling won by Epic that would require Google to overhaul its app store. The case is Epic Games v Samsung Electronics et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 3:24-CV-06843.
