@prologic @quark The problem remains that reading a "flat" conversation is confusing to the point of being messy. One has to figure out who is replying to whom, and even when found, it is not all clear. Hitting reply to a message in a conversation (not the "root" one) does nothing to signify to whom I am replying.

@prologic on the web client (yarn), the camera is a modal. On the iOS client there are three icons.
