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
In the BlackBerry Hub, do one of the following:
• Tap
> Priority Hub.
• If your Pinch Filter Criteria is set to Priority Messages, slide your fingers together to zoom in on your priority messages.
Tip: You can specify which messages are displayed when you zoom in. In the BlackBerry Hub, tap
>
> Display and
Actions. In the Pinch Filter Criteria drop-down list, select Priority Messages, Unread Messages, Flagged Messages, Draft
Messages, Meeting Invites, Sent Messages or Level 1 Messages.
