You can now pin up to five Google Messages conversations

Beta testers are noticing that the Google Message pin feature is getting some improvements. This can be seen in the recent beta update that is rolling out to the app. With this update, beta testers can now pin up to five conversations, an improvement from the current limit the app gives users.

This pin feature will be available for usage on both RCS and regular text messages that users get. Google has kept the number of conversations users could pin down to three for a long time. The limit on three pinned conversations has been in place ever since Google launched RCS messaging.

Seeing this feature get an upgrade to allow users to pin a few more conversations is quite impressive. But how exactly will users benefit from this new upgrade, available to only beta testers? It’s time to have a closer look at this improvement to the Google Message pin feature.

Here is how you can put this improvement to the Google Message pin feature to use, once available

Pinning a conversation on Google Messages or any other messaging platform helps improve accessibility. This feature is great for those that receive tons of messages from various sources. To make finding a few conversations easy, such people can easily pin them.

By doing this, the conversation appears at the top of the chat list and newer messages appear under it. So, regardless of how many messages users of this feature get in a day, they can always easily find their pinned conversations. But at times, for some users, it’s quite a struggle to decide which messages to pin and which to leave out.

With the previous limitation to only three pinned conversations, some users had to leave out other important conversations. With this beta upgrade, users having a hard time picking which conversations to pin and which to leave out can have room for two more entries. Once this improvement rolls out globally, users will have the opportunity to pin up to five conversations for quick access.

Users can choose between family, friends, work, and even school-related conversations to pin. These can be either private messages or group chats, and all pinned conversations will pop up at the top of the app’s interface with a pin icon. There is no information as to when this feature will roll out globally, but once available it will reach end users via an app update.
