WhatsApp will soon enable iOS users to star-mark Channel updates

WhatsApp is working on a new “star-mark” feature for Channel updates in the iOS app version. This addition to the application will allow users to mark all those updates in the Channel that are quite important and require to be saved separately.
Spotted in the WhatsApp iOS beta 25.2.10.71 version, the company is readying a new “star-mark” feature for Channel updates. The feature is quite good if you want to save a special update and prevent it from missing in the flow of other updates.
The company has already prepared such a feature for the Android app version. Now it is bringing the same capability to iPhone users, offering immense convenience.
Star-mark feature is available for individual and group chats. Now WhatsApp is expanding this tool to Channels. Using this feature, you can mark specific updates and look for them at any time without scrolling through the entire Channel.
All you have to do is tap and hold an update in the Channel. A pop-up window will appear with certain options. Click on the Star option. To access the marked updates, visit the Channel Info page and click on the “Starred” option.
Thus, users can manage, view, and even unstarred these updates anytime. Note that in case you unfollow a Channel with starred updates, all the marked articles will be removed and you won’t be able to access them again.
WhatsApp is rolling out this feature to limited beta testers via the TestFlight Beta Program. However, the feature will soon reach more users via a stable update.
