Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Reproduce the reply interaction shown in the screen recording, then trace the chat message and Reply-button entry points to determine which interaction should open the thread and whether the composer should receive focus. Done means the agreed behavior works consistently when opening a thread from a message and from Reply.

Description
Description
When clicking on a chat message, the Reply button does not seem to work. This might be because the entire message is wrapped inside a button/Touchable that opens the thread. While this design makes it easier for users to enter a thread without searching for the reply button, I don't think this was the intended behavior.

Proposed Solutions
We have a few possible ways to address this:
- Remove the Reply button altogether if we continue allowing users to open threads by clicking anywhere on the message.
- Disable the whole message click and make sure only the Reply button opens the thread.
- Reply button opens the thread and focuses on the text input opening the keyboard inside the thread. (Clicking will open it like this )
Please share your thoughts on which approach would be best. I'm happy to discuss further! 🚀
