How to Reply to Individual Messages in WhatsApp
To reply to specific WhatsApp messages first open the conversation and locate the message you want to respond to. Once you’ve found it, there are two ways you can make that message stand out.
First, swipe the message right, and WhatsApp will automatically highlight it. Type your message, and when you send it, your message will be right under the highlighted message.
You can add emojis or an attachment to your specific message just as you normally would to any other message. If you change your mind and don’t want to respond to a particular message, tap on the X in the upper right-hand corner of the highlighted message.
Another way you can respond to explicit Whatsapp messages is by long-pressing on the message, and tapping on the backward pointing arrow. Once again, you’ll get the message box that will be published alongside your new message.

When you get a message while you’re online can make you feel obligated to answer. If you don’t, you know you’re going to be asked sooner or later why you didn’t answer.

If you want to navigate through various messages, tap on the arrow on the side after tapping on the reply button to respond to a specific WhatsApp message.
