Samsung: Pin a Conversation in Messages

When you text a lot of people, your most important chats can get buried fast because the Messages app sorts everything by time, newest on top. If a key contact keeps sliding down the list every time someone else texts you, there is no quick way to jump straight to that conversation. Samsung lets you fix this by marking a chat as a favorite so it always stays visible.

Pin a Conversation to the Top of Messages auf Samsung

Samsung Messages sorts every conversation strictly by the timestamp of the last message. A contact you write to daily can end up far below a chat you had once, months ago, simply because that older thread received a reply more recently.

To keep an important conversation visible at all times, you can pin it to the top of the chat list. This does not archive or mute anything, it only changes the sort position, so notifications and message previews still work as usual.

How to pin a conversation

Open Tap on MessagesTap and hold a ConversationTap on MoreTap on Pin to top. The chat immediately moves above all others, regardless of when it was last updated.

You can pin more than one conversation this way. Pinned chats stay grouped at the top and keep their own internal order based on activity, while everything else below continues sorting by time as normal.

If a pinned conversation stops feeling relevant, repeat the same steps and choose the unpin option instead. This is useful when a temporary chat, like coordinating a delivery, no longer needs priority placement.

Frequently asked questions

There is no strict limit shown in the app, so you can pin several conversations at once. All pinned chats stay grouped above the regular, time-sorted list.
