In the midst of the transition from Hangouts to Google Chat, we see how Google’s new, most professional email client keeps getting improvements to try and get more users. After improving your search engine with your new filters, Google chat activates for everyone an important feature that should be basic in any email client: being able to mark a message as unread.
It is a very practical function that allows us mark these important messages as unread to easily access it later or mark as unread that post that we read but were unable to reply to at that time.
How to mark messages as unread in Google Chat
While apps like Telegram or WhatsApp let you mark a conversation as unread, Google Chat goes one step further. Besides being able to mark a chat as unread, it also allows you select a specific message to mark as unread.
The first way we find to mark a message as unread is from the window of To discuss O The spaces. With a long press on the chat we can Mark as unread. This will mark the last message received as unread.
If we want to mark a certain message as unread, we have to enter the conversation and make a long press this message important and press “Mark unread”. The ‘Unread’ indicator will appear just above the selected message and after exiting the chat we will see that it appears as if we have new messages. This option is not available for Spaces messages, only for Chats.
Finally, you can also mark as unread the last message received from conversation options, which can be accessed by clicking on the chat name once in the conversation. After clicking on the “Mark as unread” option, the conversation will automatically close, leaving the last message marked as unread.
The “Mark as unread” option is right for us. If we read a message, the other person will know, because it will appear in their conversation that we have read their message even if we later mark it as unread. This feature is only for this unread message to appear to us so that when we reopen Google Chat, the unread message notification will remind us of this important message or that we were unable to respond at that time.
