Direct Messaging on Xbox One not possible?

This is not the place I wanted to post but since there is no main page for Xbox Live Parties this is the best place. Why am I not able to send a VOICE direct message to a single friend on XBOX ONE. I can do this all day on xbox 360. I FEEL that Microsoft
clearly has missed the point of ensuring the XBONE does EVERYTHING that the xbox 360 can currently do and more. I personally would have preferred every current feature the xbox 360 can do with the XBOX 1 and wait later for the fancy bells and whistles later
but instead I feel I bought an XBOX One Minus XBOX 360 so I have an XBOX 359 come on Microsoft!

Mesaaging not working

The messaging on a new account can join parties talk in chat and even text in party cjat but cannot send messages to direct players

 

Why has messaging, muting, blocking, unblocking, and the store been running like crap the past mos.?

Can you please check on the website? Phone apps and the Xbox use remote API's to use the messaging service "in the cloud". The website messaging is "more direct", as I'd assume that the servers running the website are in or at least directly connected to
the data center running the messaging servers.

 

Also at the very least why cant I talk to my Kinect and it type what I would like to say without me using the virtual keyboard if the Kinect is so much more advanced I should be able to do this. At the very least since they removed the Direct Voice messaging
we used to be able to send a 15 second voice message to a person or persons????

 

Microsoft will be updating the system software to add new and missing features.

Apparently they are listening to feedback from the community and missing features might return.

Not sure what the update will add and fix or when it will be available though.

 

Well as long as there is hope I guess. Well see what happens but if they don't get their act together the gap between ps4 and xbox one surely will continue to become wider putting the ps4 ahead. Im a true xbox fan but im a gamer and at the end of the day
the best console wins regardless of me being an xbox fan boy. If I need to convert then I will even if it pains me to do so. Come on Microsoft get it together. Don Mattrick is gone now so hopefully this ship can be turned in the right direction!
