Keeping track of multiple text conversations can be troublesome, but iOS lets you pin up to nine Messages conversations to the top of the app.
Text messages can be incredibly convenient, but if you’re constantly texting countless people and dozens of group chats, it can be hard to find specific conversations when you need them.
Apple’s built-in Messages app on iOS offers the ability to pin your most important chats at the top of the app, sticking them there for quick access no matter when the last message was sent. It’s an easy-to-use function that’s equally easy to overlook, and there are three ways to get the job done.The easiest way to pin a conversation on iOS 14 or later is to open the Messages app, find the chat you want to save , and swipe across it from left to right to unveil a yellow pin button.
The third option is most useful if you want to pin a bunch of conversations at once. From the main Messages screen, tap. Yellow pin icons will appear next to each conversation, and you can tap them to put chats at the top of the list—you can save a maximum of nine.There’s no way to quickly swipe to unpin a chat, so you’ll have to choose from one of two options if you want to drop a conversation from your starting roster.button in the top left corner of the main Messages screen.
You can also rearrange them by long pressing on any pinned chat from the main screen. This will bring up the pinning options menu and display a preview of the chat. Ignore all that and drag your finger across the screen. Everything else will disappear and you’ll be able to drop the conversation where you want it. Not exactly the most convenient approach but hey, you do you.John Kennedy is PopSci's DIY editor.
