iOS 14 Leaked Feature: Mark as Unread in Messages
iOS 14 is expected in a matter of weeks at WWDC. Typically, we know very little concrete about an upcoming iOS version prior to the announcement, but this year there was a leak of an early build of iOS 14.

Mockup of group typing indicators in iOS 14 iMessagesApple is working to allow you to mark a message unread, similar to email. Sometimes there is a text that you just want to get back to later. Rather than ignore and forget, you will be able to mark the conversation as unread, restoring the unread blue dot, so you can go back to it at a later time. We don't believe this will affect read receipts, however. If you have read receipts on, it is unlikely that this feature will revert read status back to unread.
