Slack rolls out faster way to mark messages as read on Android.
- Slack has a new “Mark as Read” button on Android.
- The button allows you to mark messages as read from your notifications.
When a new message is put in Slack, the app will let you know if there’s an unread message waiting for you. On the desktop app, you can quickly mark messages as read by using keyboard shortcuts like Esc and Shift Esc. You also have the option to mark a message as unread by hitting the Alt key and clicking on the message. While there wasn’t really a quick way to deal with unread messages in mobile app, that appears to be changing now.
If you’re using the mobile version of Slack, to mark a message as read, you usually have to open the app and view the channel. However, it looks like an update has rolled out that gives you another way to address unread messages.
