## Configure whether messages are automatically marked as read
You may want to configure whether or not the Zulip app will automatically
mark messages as read. For example, it can be useful to set the mobile app to
never mark messages as read if you often want to follow up on messages when you
are at your computer. You will still be able to
[manually](#mark-all-messages-as-read) mark messages as read.
You can choose how messages are automatically marked as read in the Zulip web
and mobile apps. You can configure the mobile app differently from the
web/desktop app.
- **Always**: Messages are marked as read whenever you scroll through them in
the app. You may be used to this from other chat applications.
- **Never**: Messages are marked as read only
[manually](#mark-all-messages-as-read). For example, if you often need to
follow up on messages at your computer after reading them in the mobile app,
you can choose this option for the mobile app.
- **Only in conversation views**: In Zulip, a **conversation** is a [direct
message](/help/direct-messages) thread (one-on-one or with a group), or a
[topic in a stream](/help/streams-and-topics). This option makes it convenient
to preview new messages in a stream, or skim [All
messages](/help/all-messages), and later read each topic in detail.
