Since iOS 14, it's possible to reply to a specific message in an iMessage conversation.

Just long-press on the desired message, then tap on "Reply" and write your reply.

That's it!

In this post, I will show you how to delete one or multiple messages in a long conversation on your iPhone.

This is useful if you want to remove confidential and sensitive information or make space on iCloud after you've imported a photo or video.

In this post, I will show you how to send a photo, video or audio message via iMessage on your iPhone.

In this post, I will show you how to disable read receipts for iMessages.

This tip is useful if you don't want to let your iMessage correspondant know when you actually opened his/her message.

Sneaky? Not necessarily, as there can be legitimate reasons for choosing to do so, in my opinion.

In this post, I will show you how to quickly see all Messages attachments for a specific conversation.

This tip is useful if you exchange pictures and/or files with friends via iMessage and/or MMS.

In this post, I will show you how to find out the exact time at which a specific message was sent or received.

By default, the Messages app groups conversations together and provide a unique timestamp, even when replies are tens of minutes apart from each other.

There is a simple way to reveal the exact time for each specific message on your Apple devices.

In this post, I will show you how to mute noisy conversations in Messages.

This tip is useful if you want to stop being notified of new messages for a particular conversation (usually, one involving multiple people).

In this post, I will show you how to mute unknown senders in Messages.

This tip is useful if you don't want to receive a notification when someone not in your contacts list (most probably a spammer) sends you an iMessage.

It's important to understand that only iMessages are concerned; SMS messages cannot be muted, unless the sender has been explicitly blocked (as explained in my previous post).

In this post, I will show you how to block some people from reaching you by phone, SMS, iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone.

This tip is useful if you'd like to stop being annoyed by unwanted calls (voice or video) and messages either from strangers or from people already in your contact list.
