Replies, Reactions & Forwarding
Replying to a message
Nuts gives you two ways to reply to a specific message:
- Long-press the message, then tap Reply from the actions sheet that appears.
- Swipe it to the side — on your own messages, a quick swipe reveals a reply hint and starts the reply immediately, no menu needed.
Either way, a preview strip showing “Replying to [name]” appears above the message box, with a short preview of what you’re replying to. Type your reply and send as normal. To back out of a reply without sending, tap the x on the preview strip.
Once sent, your reply shows the quoted original above it. Tap that quote to jump straight to the original message in the conversation.
On the web
Right-click (or long-press on a touchscreen) a message to open the same actions menu. You can also swipe or click-and-drag a message to the side to reply directly, the same shortcut as the app.
Reacting with emoji
Long-press any message to bring up a row of quick reactions. Tap one to react — tap the same emoji again to remove your reaction. Your most recently used reactions move to the front of the row, so your go-to reactions stay handy.
Need something outside the quick set? Tap the smile icon at the end of the row to open the full emoji picker.
To see who reacted to a message, long-press (or press and hold, on web) the reaction chips shown under it. Nuts shows you the names of everyone who reacted with that emoji.
Forwarding a message
- Long-press the message you want to forward.
- Tap Forward.
- Search or scroll to find the chat (or chats) you want to send it to, then tap to select.
You can select multiple messages before forwarding by starting a multi-select, and you can forward to more than one conversation at once. There’s no extra confirmation step — tapping a chat sends the message right away, and a checkmark confirms it went through.
Other message actions
The same long-press menu also has:
- Copy text — copies the message content to your clipboard.
- Copy link — copies a direct link to the message.
- Pin to chat — see Pinned Messages & In-Chat Search.
- Edit — available on your own text messages.
- Delete — available on your own messages, with a confirmation step since it can’t be undone.
