IOS 14 Messages swipe left to right to mark read

iosmessagesui

I have noticed that swiping a message left to right in iOS Messages is suddenly pinning it instead of marking it read and it appears that the is no longer a quick way to mark a message read without opening it.

I am wondering if there is a way to change the behaviour back to how it was (mark message read by swiping left to right)?

Didn’t find any tips on that by googling.

Unfortunately, there is no way to change that behaviour back, as can be done with emails.

You can still bulk mark messages as read by clicking on Edit > Select messages > Click on the messages > Read.
