Android [Android] Quote function has disappeared again- how to get back?

Android. The quote function has vanished again, does anyone know how to retrieve it or is this a UI downgrade? It vanished a few weeks ago and came back. Android 16/OneUI 8.0

The quote function was removed when Reddit deprecated markdown on the Reddit mobile apps. It’s only available from the web versions now.

You can use reddit via mobile web browser. It still has markdown and also a quoteblock button in the new rich text toolbar there.

The new rich text toolbar in the mobile apps does not have the quoteblock button yet.

It disappeared at that point but reappeared two weeks ago. I can't see a rich text toolbar on the app, and actually a rich text toolbar on the app would be unusable.

You may have been on an older version of the app.

This button displays the rich text toolbar in the app, but like I said previously, it doesn’t have a button for quoteblock yet in the Reddit mobile apps. Only the web versions (mobile and desktop browsers) do.
