Toggle starred messages counter
By default, Zulip displays the number of starred messages in the left sidebar; this allows you to use them as an inbox of messages you'd like to come back to. If you are using starred messages for something else and would prefer not to see the count in your left sidebar, you can disable that feature.
{start_tabs}
{tab|desktop-web}
{settings_tab|preferences}
- Under Information, toggle Show counts for starred messages.
