How to Pin Messages on iPhone

When you pin a contact in Messages on iPhone, the conversation thread with that person stays at the top as an icon so that you can easily tap into and read the conversation at a moment's notice, without having to search iPhone messages to find what you're looking for. Here's how to pin contacts in Messages on iPhone:

  1. Open the Messages app.
