Viewing important messages with the BlackBerry Priority Hub
With the BlackBerry Priority Hub feature, important messages are highlighted so that you can quickly
find them in the BlackBerry Hub.
To identify priority messages, your BlackBerry device looks at whether a message is flagged as
important, whether the sender is a frequent contact, and other criteria.
You can help your device learn which messages are important to you by changing the priority of a
message. For example, if a message is important to you but it's not included in the BlackBerry Priority
Hub, you can add it.
View only your priority messages
