The popular messaging app WhatsApp is the most widely used multi-purpose platform by friends, family and colleagues. These messages can include photos, videos, screenshots, and more.

Sometimes you are looking for certain important messages and that is why you need to bookmark the messages as you need to see them. Facebook’s own messaging platform has a feature called “Starred” Messages that basically helps clear the clutter and get you the most important messages.

For example, if a family member shared something really important and you need to find the message, you can just use this feature to reread the message.

To mark the messages as important:

  • Select the message you want by long-pressing it. Then select multiple messages like this.
  • After selecting the message or messages, you will see the star icon in the tab above the chat window.
  • Tap the star icon to bookmark this message.
