In a group chat, one may have a hard time replying to a specific message especially if the intended message that you want to reply is buried in a bunch of earlier messages. Fortunately, you can quote on Viber to learn how you can directly reply to messages by quoting the message.
It’s kind of irritating when we tend to miss out on replying to a specific message intended for us while in the midst of a conversation on a group chat. It’s hard when you just notice that the group have had some fun conversation while you were away, talking about how you don’t even have the slightest idea that you were the subject.
Luckily, Viber has introduced their reply feature and has never been more useful to anyone that has been involved in group chats. As we all know, Viber has been widely used all across the globe not only for the fact that it can be downloaded for free on the App Store, but also because it is considered as one of the most user-friendly third-party messaging application with good GUI (Graphical User Interface). Just by long-tapping a specific message you wanted to reply to and tapping “Reply” on the prompt that appears, you can directly create a conversation thread with the specific message that interests you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What will happen to a quoted message when the original message has been deleted by the sender?
A: The quoted message is the current sender’s message. If the original sender deletes his or her old post, quoted messages remain in the chat room.
Q: Can I quote a chat from one chatroom to another chatroom?
A: Quoting a message is only available to the room where the original message was posted. You cannot quote a message from one room to another.
