On the iPhone, long-pressing a chat in the Messages app offers a \u201cReply\u201d option that supports threading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Android, Google Messages will show replies with the original message included above. In the example from Reddit, the screenshot shows the latest Google Messages beta, while the other participant is running iOS 27 beta 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, photo reactions are now accompanied by emoji instead of a text description.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RCS Universal Profile 2.7 from June 2024 added support for \u201cenabling Replies and Reactions (including Custom Reactions) to sent and received messages.\u201d That release also introduced the ability to edit, recall, and delete sent messages for all parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s great that this quality-of-life improvement is coming, though we\u2019re currently on RCS Universal Profile 4.0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iOS 27 is expected to get a public launch in September. The public beta will start in July, with the early builds proving unexpectedly stable. This follows end-to-end encryption for cross-platform RCS being introduced with iOS 26.5 in May.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
