depwnz Well, I hear you on this one. For what it's worth it's "on the backlog"...

***UPDATE*** The roadmap id https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=81113 (April CY2021).
2021 Sept. already.
Still wait your update for this basic feature.
"Shift + >" just like to change its format, different with a reply with original message's sender.

- Already in Sept 😕
- This workaround makes me want to cry. 5 steps, when it should be one. I can't believe this is still not here with over 40,000 votes. This makes MS look amateur.
- thanks mate
I saw that it's on the backlog last year and it's still "on the backlog" now. I mean, how hard is it to code the most simple, but most important feature that already works on mobile?
I use that quote button but it's such a chore.Maybe not so hard to develop that but they also have to consider other things like compliance, notifications and other stuff. So it is not just that function they have to develop. Also they have x numbers of developers, so Microsoft must consider how important a feature is to their customers. I guess a feature like Together mode creates a bigger buzz among customers than a reply function.
But as I wrote, vote and comment on the uservoice. Comments are important for Microsoft to see why something is needed.
... also have to consider other things ... like the background? Sure, the background is much more important than compliance & notifications ...
