Default Message Reply iOS 6.1.2

I have an iphone 5 with ios 6.1.2. I usually (but not always) receive text messages on screen. The reply function doesn't every function. Anything I can do to enable this?

Buy a different phone. The reply function does not work with the iPhone.

Yeah, IOS won't allow it. In the 2 weeks that I owned the HTC One...it was possible to do anything...reply, send pre-saved responses, read emails, etc....

Hated that phone though, so back to the iPhone I went. Ultimately, my car is the place that I can get away from everything, so the last thing I want to do is read/respond/look at texts or emails.

I think the iPhone is becoming a joke. Sorry, but I think the one is a better device. iPhone has poor battery life, behind on features, and Apple is milking it.

it's tough to compete with the shear volume of apps and users.

NFC, bigger screen, battery life, a better antenna design, an OS that is actually updated and runs without killing the battery, and a company that's arrogance doesn't precede it at every opportunity.

I think the OP has his answer. No need for the fanboy bullsh|t in a car forum.

I'm an iPhone user, I like the iPhone for the reason I like all Apple products: because its simple, and it works. I've tried Android, too complicated and too temperamental. Would I like it if I could reply to texts in the car? Probably...but its not worth the learning curve for me.

Seriously? Have you ever used an iPhone? I am a developer for both. Antenna works the same, screen quality is much better on iPhone and the battery life isnt even comparable. My iPhone lasts 1-2 days. Most androids with light use barely last 8 hours. Use both, then comment.

I will agree, iOS needs an update bad, getting stale. However, way better than the buggy/unstable android system.

I also develop sw for both. Well, my partner actually does the coding. I use winows computers but prefer the iphone. The android tablets are not competitive, in my opinion.
