Recently you can mark WhatsApp messages with a star. This will help you find important messages later. In this tip we explain how it works.
Flag WhatsApp messages
About a week ago, WhatsApp for iOS got the feature to mark messages with an asterisk. A handy feature, because you can save messages with important information separately. This has the advantage that you do not have to search the entire (group) conversation for a specific message. In the steps below we explain how to use the function.
- Start WhatsApp on your iPhone and open a chat;
- Select and tap a message, after which you have to hold your finger on the screen for a moment;
- In the black bar that appears, you will see an asterisk on the left. Tap this to complete the process.
Flagged messages are collected in chronological order in the ‘Starred messages’ menu located under ‘Settings’. This way you can see when on which day and time you received the message and you can click through to the corresponding conversation. To remove the asterisk from a message, you can go to Starred Messages, tap the message, then tap the asterisk.
