If everyone's crazy, then being crazy is normal, and being normal is crazy.
So if we are all normal then we are all crazy,  but if we are all crazy we are all normal.  Never stops 
money doesn't talk......      it SCREAMS !

Just the opposite.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It's been on IOS for some time.

It allows you to save "important" messages to your "starred messages" folder.
Very useful in large group chats, instead of scrolling all the way back to find a message you want.

Couldn't figure out what happens to the stared messages, now I get it.

It is indeed very useful.
