If you are in many WhatsApp groups, the strange thing is that you will not have unread messages, marked with a green dot in the chat list. And WhatsApp has a Super fast way to mark all messages as readwith a stroke of the pen.
This is possible with a new hidden menu of WhatsApp which, if you don’t know it’s there, you’ll probably never know. And it’s a much faster alternative to going through all the chats one by one or marking them as read using the “traditional method”.
Mark as read at full speed
It seems unbelievable that after so many years we are still discovering new WhatsApp tricks, as interesting as the one we have in hand: A secret menu to mark all messages as readwith a touch and a half and in a couple of seconds.
The trick is this: in the WhatsApp chat list, make sure that the filter buttons appear at the top (All, Unread, Favorites and Groups). In the active filter, which is green, make a long touch.
This menu contains a single item, Mark as readand what it does is exactly that, mark all chats that are visible at that time as read. If you are in the tab of All either Not readthat means that all of them are marked as read. In the new favorites filter, by the way, we will see a second menu item to configure our favorite contacts.
And that’s it. This secret menu is officially The fastest way to mark dozens or hundreds of chats as read and ideal for those who are in hundreds of groups and find it impossible to “remove them to zero” without wasting more time than they would like.
If you want to compare time with the above alternative to do the same thingthe truth is that it is quite a bit longer (long touch on a chat > menu ⋮ > Select all > menu ⋮ > Mark as read).
