When in a group chat, the conversation will take place quickly. If you put the phone down and leave for about an hour or two, then chances are that when you come back, new messages from group chat could be hundreds. Usually this has no effect. However, when you want to make an important statement or answer someone's question before, you confuse everyone. In this situation you should use quote messages.
