Until recently, Teams didn’t have the ability to reply to individual texts. But after receiving enough requests, Microsoft has added this long-awaited feature. Today, we’ll teach you how to reply to individual texts on Microsoft Teams and tell you everything you need to know about the feature.

How to reply to a specific message in Microsoft Teams
