Replying to a specific message in Messenger

How do I enable the ability to REPLY to a message someone left in a thread? I click on it and my options below the message are COPY or MORE. REPLY does not show up.

Apologies. The messages from others will look grey. Your message would be blue or green. You stated that the messages are green so that means it's an SMS and the reply function will not be available.

The 'Reply' option only shows up for iMessages. Is the message you want to reply to green or blue?

Are you asking about Messages, the pre-installed Apple messaging app? Or about Messenger, the Facebook messaging app?

It is in a group message where my responses show up in Green. Their responses are in gray so my guess is that some of the group does not use an iPhone and that is why?

The iPhone Messaging App.
