When to Star: A Deep Dive (or a Shallow Splash)
Let's face it, most texts deserve a swift scroll-by and a mental "oh yeah, gotta get back to them." But for those rare gems, the ones that hold the key to your sanity or contain winning lottery numbers (fingers crossed!), the star becomes your knight in shining armor. Here's a handy dandy guide:
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
- Landlord's Lease Agreement: This one's a no-brainer. Unless you fancy memorizing legalese, a star is your best friend.
- Hilarious Meme Sent by Your BFF: Because let's be honest, you'll need a good laugh again.

- Mom's Birthday Wishes (Especially with Guilt-Trip Potential): A strategically placed star ensures a timely "love you too!" and avoids an earful.
Important Note: Do not star every grocery list or "on my way" text. Your starred messages list should be a curated museum of textual significance, not a cluttered storage room.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
