By default, your conversation with the latest messages appear at the top of the Messages screen. This order makes it easy to see what’s new, but you may find important but slower-paced conversations get pushed down the list and out of sight. To fix this problem, you can pin specific conversations to the top of the conversation list so the people you contact most always come first in the list. Pinned conversations appear as larger icons at the top of your conversation list.
