The update to iOS 9.1 brings another positive side effect with for iPhone users. However, this does not affect iOS directly but WhatsApp. Users of Messenger app have iOS 9.1 now namely the ability to respond to incoming chat messages directly with a quick answer without you having to open the app only themselves. It simply appears in the notification bar when pulling down a new message, an additional text box into which the answer can type directly.

Quick Reply iOS since theoretically possible 8
The ability to quickly answer since iOS is theoretically already 8. So far, this feature was limited to Apple's own apps. Now it seems that the manufacturer has the function with iOS 9.1 released for the first time also for third party developers. With WhatsApp one was obviously prepared for this step for some time, because the possibility of quick response is available, without the app has to be self-updated.

Especially handy this feature is particularly important for owners of Apple Watch. On the computer clock WhatsApp messages have so far received, but not answered. Thanks to the new quick-response function, it is now also possible, however, an answer to write directly on the screen of the SmartWatch. This leaves the fiddly small screen as the only hurdle.
