How to make a WhatsApp message unread - in detail?

To make a WhatsApp message unread, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Chat: Locate and open the chat conversation that contains the message you want to mark as unread. This can be done by tapping on the specific contact or group name in your list of chats.

  2. Locate the Message: Scroll through the conversation until you find the message you intend to mark as unread. WhatsApp messages are displayed in chronological order, so you may need to go back a bit if it's an older message.

  3. Mark as Unread:

    • For iOS Users: Swipe left on the message to reveal the option menu, then tap on "More," and finally select "Mark as Unread."

  4. Confirmation: After selecting "Mark as unread," you will see a checkmark next to the message indicating that it has been successfully marked as unread. The message bubble will also change color to reflect its new status.

  5. Notification Badge: If notifications are enabled for the contact or group, you should also see an updated badge count on your WhatsApp icon, indicating the presence of unread messages.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage your message read status and ensure that important messages are not overlooked or forgotten.
