Can You Pin a Message Conversation in iOS?

If you have an iPhone or iPad running iOS 14 or newer, you can pin a message conversation, also known as a thread, to the top of the Messages app. This is a convenient feature for anyone who would like to access select conversations and text messages quickly and without having to scroll down through the app. It also spares you from having to create a new message if you can’t find what you are looking for. Once message conversations are pinned, you can immediately pull up an old or existing thread with a family member, dog walker, or babysitter by navigating to the top of your Messages app’s screen. You can pin multiple message conversations at once so your most important messages are always easy to access. Keep in mind pinned message conversations will remain at the top of the Messages app until you’ve taken the steps to unpin a message conversation in iOS.
