Until a few years ago, WhatsApp was used for conversations between family or friends, conversations that, most of the time, were not particularly important, at least not in terms of the need to save data and specific items.

For this it is possible to use the function Highlighted, Its role is to mark a specific message with a star, to store it in a special section of the application. To mark a specific message, you just need to long press on it and select the star at the top right of the screen. This will send you to the section of the application where all the important messages are located. In addition, a gray star icon will appear in the conversation right next to the sending time and blue check marks indicating that the message has been viewed.
This section is located in the main menu, in the three-dot icon, in the title Featured Articles. If we enter, we will see the list of saved messages given.
