When you receive a message about a book exchange and read it, but prefer to respond later, you can manually mark that chat as unread. This helps you keep important swap discussions visible in your Active Chats list.
Marking a chat as unread ensures it appears with bold text and moves to the top of your Active tab, just like any new unread message.
This makes it easier to manage ongoing book swap conversations and avoid missing follow-ups.

- Tap Chats
from the bottom navigation bar. - Make sure you are in the Active tab.
- Open the chat you want to mark as unread.
- Tap the More Options
button at the top right corner. - Tap Unread.
Once completed, you will be returned to the Active Chats view. The selected chat will now be treated as unread.
The next time you open Pasaj and visit Chats from the bottom navigation bar, this conversation will appear at the top of the list with bold text, helping you quickly identify pending replies related to your book swap or book exchange discussions.
Important Notes
Opening the same chat again will automatically mark it as read.
