A couple things I would love to see in iMessage having used WhatsApp as my primary messaging app for the past several years: (1) Direct replying/quoting to a specific message. (2) More granular group chat controls (eg ability to add/remove/leave group message threads. (3) Ability to rename group chats so that I don't have 3 chat threads that contain the same first two people plus someone else

Unless I'm mistaken, all three are available on iOS right now. You can reply to a specific message, you can add/remove/leave a group iMessage, and you can name (and emoticon) group chats.

Seems like (1) is included in iOS 14?

“Inline replies You can reply directly to a specific message in a group conversation. See all related messages in their own view to easily keep track of a thread.”

re 3: Renaming group chats has been a feature for a few years now

Not for SMS (presumably because it can’t be shared to the other participants, but I’d still like a way to apply an alias to these four or five person deep threads for my own devices).
