How to make WhatsApp messages unread - in detail?
To mark a message as unread in WhatsApp, you can use different methods depending on whether you are using an Android or iOS device. Here's a detailed guide for both:
Android:
- Using Notification Settings: Open the notification panel by swiping down from the top of your screen. Long-press on the WhatsApp message notification until a menu appears. Tap on "Mark as unread."
- From the Chat List: If you have already read the message, you can still mark it as unread. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat list. Press and hold the chat with the message you want to mark as unread until a menu appears at the top of your screen. Tap on "Mark as unread."
- Using Widgets: If you have added a WhatsApp widget to your home screen, you can also use it to mark messages as unread. Long-press on the chat with the message you want to mark as unread until a menu appears. Select "Mark as unread."
iOS:
- Using 3D Touch (for compatible devices): Open WhatsApp and go to the chat list. Press firmly on the chat with the message you want to mark as unread until the menu appears. Tap on "Mark as Unread."
- Without 3D Touch: If your device does not support 3D Touch, you can still mark messages as unread using the following method: Open WhatsApp and go to the chat list. Swipe left on the chat with the message you want to mark as unread until the "More" option appears. Tap on it, then select "Mark as Unread."
- Using Notification Settings: If you have notifications enabled for WhatsApp, you can also use them to mark messages as unread. Swipe left on the message notification in the notification center until the "Mark as Unread" option appears. Tap on it.
Desktop Version (WhatsApp Web):
Currently, there is no built-in feature in WhatsApp Web to mark messages as unread directly from the desktop version. However, you can use the mobile app to mark messages as unread and see the changes reflected in WhatsApp Web.
By following these detailed steps, you can easily manage your read and unread messages in WhatsApp, ensuring that important conversations remain visible until you are ready to address them.
