The quoted portion of the original message will now be included above your text input field. You can add your own text below this quoted section to provide context or further clarify your response.
- Send Your Message: Once you have composed your message, simply press the send button (usually a paper airplane icon) to deliver your reply along with the quoted part of the original message.
This feature is particularly useful when you want to ensure that the context of the conversation remains clear and specific parts of a message are highlighted for better understanding.
