Messaging replies

Hi all, today I ditched the Vivoactive 3 and upgraded to a Fenix 5, loving the watch baring one omission, text message quick replies, or lack of, I found this feature really useful on the VA3 but already missing it on the Fenix, anyone know if there are any plans to enable this feature?
TIA

When I changed from VA3 to F5 there were no software changes to the mobile app, the feature for replies simply vanished so it would appear the app covers a broad range of Garmin watches and hides features not compatible with your device once synced.

That's interesting. .......and we are back to you original post in this thread!!

Garmin???

I've found the option to reply to messages on my F5, but when I hit the reply button it just goes straight back to the watchface....

Does anyone else have this problem? I thought maybe I have to set up some default replies in GC but I cant see an option to do that?

What software are you on, and which Android phone/version? I tried it last night and it worked as you'd expect. 10.52 beta, Moto Z2 play with 8.0

I just got new GCM update (v4.10) Android version I use with my F5X but there is still no option to edit canned messages! :-(

Garmin hey, do it already please!

I'm missing this option as well for my FR935... hope this comes soon so I can edit the text replies.

Seems as though it might be a bit flaky with Samsung phones with pre-8.0 Android, going by the Vivoactive 3 experiences: https://forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/health-fitness/vivoactive-3-aa/1377382-call-rejection
