WhatsApp’s New Threaded Messages Feature is Coming Soon to iOS – Here’s Why It’s a Big Deal!

If you’ve ever been in a WhatsApp group chat where five different conversations are happening at the same time… you know how messy it can get 😵‍💫

Well, there’s some good news on the way. A new WhatsApp beta for iOS (version 25.19.10.80) has revealed that Meta is working on a threaded message replies feature – something that could seriously change the way we use WhatsApp chats.

💬 So, What Are Threaded Replies?

In simple terms, threaded replies allow you to reply directly to a specific message in a mini thread, rather than just adding your message to the big long chat. This keeps everything organized and easy to follow, especially in busy conversations.

Think of it like replying to comments on Instagram or starting a side discussion on Slack. If you’ve used Slack or Microsoft Teams, you already know how useful this can be.

📱 What’s New in This iOS Beta?

Although this feature was already spotted in Android beta versions, this is the first time it has shown up for iPhone users. That means iOS users may not have to wait too long to get their hands on it.

According to the ever-reliable WABetaInfo, the feature is still being developed, so it’s not yet available for most beta users—but it’s clearly getting closer to release.

Here’s what to expect:

• 📌 Message bubbles will show a small reply count indicator

• 👇 Tapping it will open a new screen with the full message thread

• 🧵 You can reply inside that thread or start a new one

• 💡 This will work in group chats, personal chats, channels, and communities

🔍 Why This Matters

Let’s be honest: group chats can get out of control fast. One person’s asking for dinner suggestions, someone else is sharing memes, and a third is updating on weekend plans—all in the same 2 minutes 😅

With threaded replies, all these chats can stay in their own mini threads, so nothing gets lost and everyone stays on the same page.

It also means you won’t have to scroll endlessly looking for “that one message” someone replied to. Everything stays clean and easy to follow.

⏳ When Can We Expect It?

There’s no official launch date yet for public release, and even many beta testers don’t have access at the moment. But seeing it appear in iOS beta is a clear sign that Meta is getting close to rolling it out.

Until then, we’ll have to wait patiently—but hey, it’s worth the wait for a more peaceful chat life, right?

👀 Final Thoughts

WhatsApp’s upcoming threaded message replies could seriously improve how we handle busy chats. Whether you’re coordinating weekend plans or running a full-on work discussion in a WhatsApp group, this feature is going to make your life easier.

Stay tuned—because once this rolls out fully, group chats may finally become a little less crazy 😄
