Google Chat gets this new and important messaging feature

Tech giant Google has revealed that it is pushing out a basic but crucial new feature for its instant messaging service, Google Chat.
The company’s latest blog post reveals that Google Chat and Spaces (the group chat equivalent) will soon benefit from the ability to mark messages as read or unread, on both mobile and desktop.
Google wrote in the blog post, “Marking a message as unread can help remind you to return to it later in Chat. In 1:1 and group DMs, you can mark a thread as unread starting from a particular message.”
To access this feature, users can hover over a relevant message and select the dedicated “mark as unread” button from the pop-up menu.
