With the homescreen redesign widely available in the beta channel, the next Google Messages feature is the ability to pin up to five conversations.
Pinning moves a 1:1 or group chat to the top of Messages. You get an icon at the right, while pins are synced with Messages for web. When Google first introduced this Messages feature a few years back, the pin limit was three conversations.
Long-pressing a chat today will result in a “Pin up to 5 conversations” bubble appearing to educate users about this small quality of life improvement.
We’re seeing this with version 20230719_05_RC00, which is currently the latest beta. There are no other changes to Messages today.
