Yep and just to note. There is currently a bug it seems where if you swipe too far, the gesture will have no effect. Instead swipe just a bit to reveal the symbol and it should work.
Interesting, sometimes the text box comes up immediately after doing this, and other times I have to do it 2 or 3 times before the text box appears. Doesn't seem to matter how I get to the comment, either from w/in my inbox, going from the inbox to the comment thread, or on just a random comment from a post in my feed. Let me try uninstalling/reinstalling.

It’s a swipe action. Swipe the comment to the left a bit and the comment icon should show up.

How in the heck did you manage to get that screenshot!? Those are some flexible fingers!

Swipe with my right thumb, and then screenshot buttons with my left hand. 😂

That seems to have fixed it.

Devs should probably put it in the meatball menu on posts so there is a redundant back up for newbies.

Man I’m an idiot. This whole time I thought you just couldn’t do it, or there was something really wrong with the app on my end.
