Hello all!

Has anyone found a way to keep starred texts starred after switching to Google Messages? I have hundreds of starred messages dating back years, and there is absolutely no way I can go back and re-star these messages. I have been scouring online for a possible solution.

It does not appear that the stars transfer over. Possibly because Google messages puts the star in a different location than Samsung messages.  IMO, they should transfer over since Google has the star functionality.  The only thing I can suggest is whenever you have time to kill, go into the messages and start starring away, or when you need to find something specific, search by keyword.  In Google, starred messages will look like this:
