WhatsApp is testing threaded replies in its latest iOS beta, offering a cleaner way to manage conversations in group chats. Here’s how the feature works and when it’s coming.
Beta Version of WhatsApp for iOS Reveals Threaded Replies Feature Is Finally Coming to iPhone and iPad
WhatsApp is catching up! After debuting threaded message replies on Android, WhatsApp is now testing threaded replies on iOS in its latest beta release.
Spotted by the always-reliable WABetaInfo, this feature is currently being developed and tested via TestFlight, hinting at a wider rollout soon. So, if you’ve ever been lost in a chaotic group chat, this is your moment.
What Are Threaded Replies in WhatsApp?
Unlike regular inline replies that still clutter your main chat view, threaded replies open a dedicated thread linked to a specific message. Think of it like a mini conversation within a conversation.
Here’s how it works:
- Messages with replies get a reply counter
- Tap it to open a new thread view
- See all replies tied to the original message, and add your own
It’s cleaner, more organized, and perfect for fast-moving chats where everyone’s talking at once.
When Will Threaded Replies on WhatsApp for iOS Be Available?
Right now, threaded replies on WhatsApp iOS are only visible in beta and not yet functional for everyone. But this early appearance suggests a public release is on the horizon. Expect a gradual rollout, as WhatsApp tends to take its time polishing big features before going global.
