# Marking messages as read
Zulip automatically keeps track of which messages you have and haven't
read. Unread messages have a dark line along their left side, which fade as
the message gets marked as read.
There are two situations in which messages automatically get marked as read.
* **End of feed**: When you get to the bottom of a view, Zulip marks all
messages in that view as read.
* **Blue box**: Messages are marked as read when the blue box passes over
them.
You can move the blue box either with the keyboard (arrow keys, `End`, etc.)
or by scrolling the feed with your mouse.
You can also manually **mark all messages as read**, or **mark all messages in a
stream or topic as read**.
