With the latest update to my Apple devices, I cannot reply to a specific text message. The “reply” option does not appear when I tap on the nessage. Apparently, this has been an issue in the past…any fixes on it for the latest IOS?
Thank you.

Ok, sorry but that was key information that you could've put in your original post.
