I noticed when replying someone, it doesn’t show who I’m replying to:

 ![Captura_de_tela_20260605_223240](https://storage.community.blokoto.com/original/1X/3fa5a559b60acbf1fd9411acd0a06a11720a9168.png)

It only gets shown when editing the message:

 ![Captura_de_tela_20260605_223258](https://storage.community.blokoto.com/original/1X/c0f03f79fb9672cd6b1306f4cf511efb2e2b0a52.png)

This should get added because the message can lose it’s context if no one knows what it’s replying to.

Replies right below or above a message are hidden by default, I experimented turning on this feature but it seems redundant.

But, when you reply a message that is not right above, it shows an indicator

Like this! You can see the indicator above

Oh, I didn’t know that. Most chains of replies consist of two people replying to each other a single message so I rarely see this indicator appear

I still have mixed opinions about this though, because for example, on a suggestion, when fast scrolling through the thread it’s hard to differentiate messages replying to the suggestion and messages replying to another message in the thread, you’d have to stop and read to understand the context to _then_ know it’s a reply to another message and not to the suggestion

Good point. I changed the settings to always show the reply indicator
