(When I had my own lunch with Nichols, which came about because of the sudden death of a mutual friend, I asked him if Taylor had given her best performance in Virginia Woolf because she was playing herself. "Oh no," came the quick reply. "She's not a person! It's not her fault – she's been a movie star since she was 10").
Which is a shame, the need for the quick reply takes a lot of the joy out of the conversation itself, in most cases.
The Quick Reply is enabled by default.
The quick-reply additions to notifications feel like they should have been there from the start.
Of those who did, Metro Bank's Craig Donaldson was the quickest, replying in just five minutes.

Features will require more time to assess – the notifications and quick replies seem very interesting and worthwhile, but the new paired communication mode that Apple demoed, which allows one user to connect directly to another for real-time sharing of hand-drawn messages, customized animated smileys, heartbeats and more, initially strikes as a bit of a strange concept.
Today Facebook is bringing its Like, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry and Love "Reactions" from News Feed to Stories, replacing the generic emoji quick replies it previously offered.
