Quick replies don't work with Facebook Messenger (Android)

I've noticed today that quick replies work for SMS (text) messages, with Facebook Messenger the watch UI display Reply sent, but it never actually gets thru.

Has anyone else noticed that?

Have tested a workaround that works! (Android latest version)

1. Uninstall FB Messenger

2. Go to uptodown.com and download November version of FB Messenger version 485.2.0.68.111

Same here. Fenix7x and Samsung z flip 6. Can this be a Samsung problem? Does anyone with other Android phones see this?

Same issue for me, Samsung s23 Ultra and Venu 3 (all latest version). Works with quick reply on normal text (sms) messages, but not facebook messenger, have tried:

- Resetting my Venu 3
- Reinstalling Garmin Connect
- Reinstalling Facebook Messenger
- Making sure both Garmin Connect and FB Messenger have all APP Privs settings allowed in the phone.

When I take "quick reply", it actually say "message sent" on the watch, but nothing is sent.

I have contacted Garmin Support about this issue, and sent them video and screenshot about this issue.

Will reply here if I get any good answer or workaround
