Perusing message updates can get monotonous when entire quotes go back and forth between users, especially if images are included.
If you're replying to a particular point in a message or replying to a message further back in the thread, simply keep only the relevant part(s) between the quote brackets, by backspacing over or deleting the unwanted parts of text:
