Google has announced that after the release of message flagging in the web version of Google Chat in November of last year, the same feature will be available on mobile devices in the coming weeks. Android and iOS users will now be able to access flagged messages in Google Chat using an additional shortcut in the context menu on the navigation panel. This feature is very useful if you want to come back to a specific message in a chat later on.
To flag a message on Android or iOS, simply long-press and tap the star icon. Of course, you can also remove the star from the original message or from the available shortcut.
It is worth noting that according to Google, message flagging is not available in existing chat threads organized by conversation topics (old threads). The new feature is available for all Google Workspace customers and personal Google account users.
In terms of availability, Google informs that Android users should receive the ability to flag messages in Chat within the next two weeks, starting from January 19. Meanwhile, iOS users will receive this new feature around the same time, but starting from January 16.
