Where to find it
Chat → move over a message or right-click
Actions depend on whether the message is yours, its type and support at the other client. Open actions on the message you want to work with.
What do the choices mean?
Reply
Choose Reply, check the reference and type below. This identifies the message you are answering.
React
Choose an emoji on the message. Other clients need to support displaying reactions.
Edit
Choose Edit on your own message, change the text and finish. Editing does not guarantee the old text has disappeared everywhere.
Copy text
Select text and use the offered copy action to copy it to the clipboard. If you paste it into another chat, check the destination before sending.
Delete
Local deletion affects this data directory. Removal for everyone requests removal on other clients; content already read or copied cannot reliably be recalled.
Search messages
Open the magnifier at the top, enter a term and select a result. Older history can only be loaded when available from the server archive.
Mentions
Mentions draw your attention to a group message. Choose mention notifications using the chat’s bell.
