Ios 10 mark text as unread3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() You see, I mainly use my text messaging app like most people do, I assume. ![]() You’ve read the text and you can reply now or forever forget to respond (sorry Aunt Sharon!). ![]() You can’t check the little “mark as unread” box, like you can on emails, and circle back to them later. Sometimes the little preview portion of the message is enough to let me know this is going to be a quick, fun, and easy reply, while others make it clear there will be thinking involved (so best to punt that to later, when I have sufficient time and brainpower to dedicate).īut that’s exactly the problem with texts. I can’t possibly know what I’m about to walk into when I open up an unread text. Now, if you’re wondering why I don’t simply opt for strategy number one all the time to get back to people faster, get those texts off my plate, and (most importantly) address any time-sensitive questions or requests to ensure I don’t miss out on anything or hold someone else up…it’s because I can’t. I know it’s annoying, and I try not to do this with everyone, but from time to time, this is my response strategy…apologies in advance. This is kind of like a text reply “dump” where someone just sends over everything they’ve been bottling up inside for the last few days, weeks, or months, and you’re left there to trudge through it and decide which parts (if any) warrant a response. Maybe pics involved, maybe gifs, maybe links. Some days, I’ll finally muster up the strength, time, and courage to wade through a few of those still unread (literally, unseen) text messages and send over a barrage of responses. I’ll leave it in my queue, allowing the number of unread messages (that my eyes have literally not yet read) to pile up and approach the three-digit zone (100+). Some days, I won’t even read a person’s text. Some days (dependent on the time, my schedule, and who’s on the other end), I’ll text back immediately, answering the question and preparing for another few minutes (or even an hour) of friendly back-and-forth. I’m not the most consistent texter-backer, and I’ll be the first to admit it. ![]()
