When replying to a message from Matrix, the reply shows up correctly on Element and WhatsApp Web (with the original message quoted in the reply bubble). But on the WhatsApp mobile app the reply only shows the reply text without the quoted original message preview. The reply is still linked though, tapping it scrolls to the original message and highlights it.
Looks like the bridge sets an empty QuotedMessage in the protobuf when sending replies. WhatsApp Web can work around this by looking up the message from its local cache, but the mobile app relies on that field to render the quote preview.
I'm happy to open a PR for this.
