1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
displaying, via the display generation component, a messaging user interface including a first plurality of representations of a first plurality of messages in a messaging conversation, wherein the first plurality of representations include a first representation of a first message, a first set of one or more representations of one or more second messages that are replies to the first message, and a second set of one or more representations of one or more third messages that are not replies to the first message, wherein the one or more third messages are temporally located between the first message and the one or more second messages;
while displaying the messaging user interface, receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to view replies to the first message; and
in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to view the replies to the first message:
displaying, via the display generation component, a replies user interface that is overlaid on the messaging user interface and includes a second plurality of representations of a second plurality of messages, wherein the second plurality of messages is a subset of the first plurality of messages, wherein the replies user interface:
includes a second representation of the first message and a second set of one or more representations of the one or more second messages that are replies to the first message,
does not include representations of the one or more third messages that are not replies to the first message, and
is a different user interface from the messaging user interface and is configured to receive an input to reply to the first message or the one or more second messages that are replies to the first message but is not configured to receive an input to reply to the one or more third messages that are not replies to the first message, and wherein:
in the messaging user interface, the first set of one or more representations are displayed in association with one or more visual indications that the one or more second messages are replies to the first message, and
in the replies user interface, the second set of one or more representations are not displayed in association with the one or more visual indications that the one or more second messages are replies to the first message.
