How do I favorite a Messages conversation?

In the Messages app, since iOS version 14, there is an option to bookmarking conversations. This allows you to find the most frequently used conversations at the top of the app, for example, or in any case those to which you would like to have quick access. Here’s how to use this feature.

Pin a chat to favorites in the Messages app

First way to do it: swipe

• Swipe screen tap right on a conversation
• A yellow pin appears, press it to add the conversation to favorites

Second way: “Modify” option

• Press “Edit”
• Choose “Edit Pins”
• And there, press the pin corresponding to each conversation to put in favorites

Each favorited conversation is found at the top of the main view of the Messages app. Only drawback of the manipulation, the conversations in favorites no longer display a preview of the latest messages.

Unpin a chat from favorites in the Messages app

It happens that some conversations are no longer consulted very often. These therefore no longer have any interest in remaining displayed as favorites in Messages. To remove them from the favorites, just follow one of the two following manipulations.

First way: long press

• Keep a long press on the desired favorite conversation
• Choose “Detach”

Second way: “Modify” option

• Press “Edit”
• Choose “Edit Pins”
• And there, press the “-” icon on each conversation in favorites that you want to unfavorite

I love this favorites feature in Messages and use it daily to add the conversations I read most often to the top of the app as favorites. And you what do you think ?
