The next version of iOS, already available in public beta, inaugurates many new features. One of these is the ability to pin conversations in the Messages app.
Who, in a rush, has never sent a reply message in the wrong SMS conversation on their smartphone?
The next version of iOS should partly put an end to this kind of error thanks to the arrival of a new feature in the Messages application.
In iOS 14, the user can indeed choose to pin the conversations that he feeds the most, at the top of the application. It will thus be possible to keep the most used discussions at your fingertips as soon as you open Message.
1. Pin a thread
Open the Messages app on iPhone, and swipe right on the conversation you want to pin. Then press the pushpin icon. The chat should then come to the top of the Messages app.
Repeat for any other conversations you want to keep at the top of the app. You can pin a maximum of 9 conversations.
2. Detach a pinned conversation
If you want to delete one of the pinned chats, or if you’ve reached the maximum number of pinned chats and want to replace one, you’ll need to unpin one of them.
To do this, simply tap and hold the conversation avatar, and drag them to the other discussions list in Messages.
You can also use a 3D Touch or Force Touch press to bring up the options where you should find a Detach button.
