# Configure where you land in message feeds
When you go to a message feed in the Zulip web or desktop app, you'll generally
land at your oldest unread message in that view.
[Searches](/help/search-for-messages) and [starred
messages](/help/star-a-message) put you at the newest message instead.
In the mobile app, you can choose where message feeds will open:
* **First unread message**: Recommended if you like to clear your inbox of
unread messages.
* **First unread message in conversation views, newest message elsewhere**: In
Zulip, a **conversation** is a [direct message](/help/direct-messages) thread
(one-on-one or with a group), or a [topic in a
channel](/help/introduction-to-topics). This option works well if you have old
unread messages, and don't want to navigate there in your [Combined
feed](/help/combined-feed) and [channel feeds](/help/channel-feed).
* **Newest message**: You may be used to this behavior from other chat
applications. To avoid accidentally marking messages as read,
consider setting [Mark messages as read on
scroll](/help/marking-messages-as-read#configure-whether-messages-are-automatically-marked-as-read)
to **Never** when using this setting.
{start_tabs}
{tab|mobile}
1. Tap the **Menu** (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-mobile-menu mobile-help"></i>)
tab in the bottom right corner of the app.
1. Tap <i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-gear mobile-help"></i> **Settings**.
1. Tap **Open message feeds at**.
1. Tap the desired configuration to select it.
