Stop scrolling through your texts, looking for important messages. You can pin them for easy access later! On an Android phone, you can pin any message in a text thread. On an iPhone, you can pin a link or image.

You can also pin an entire conversation so you don’t have to swipe down your inbox to find it. Just hold down on a thread and tap Pin. Now you’ll see it at the top of your message inbox. Handy!
