It's virtually impossible to read old iMessages and they take up tons of storage

Related, I emailed Tim Cook about iPhone sensor future plans, and a high-level exec of like 25+ years wrote back to me within a week. Apple is remarkably good at getting back to cold emails to top execs.

Interesting, perhaps I’ll cold email them about the pinned contact feature in iMessage being totally worthless.

If it just pinned the message thread to the top and didn’t change the icon to a giant circle that sometimes doesn’t show notifications, it’d be fine. I pinned my GF’s message thread and I ended up missing lots of messages and notifications from her and ended up unpinning her so the notifications would show up.

Not to mention the comically huge circle icon that is centered when everything else is left aligned.

Interesting, I love the way pinned threads are implemented, especially the big circles

I found pinned messages on Monday. I've now unpinned things.

It only made things worse :(

Same here. Shocked that managed to get past an initial beta.

It defeats the entire purpose of pinning.

I concur with that.

I had a problem that appeared to be a corner case with Apple Pay. I wrote a paper letter to Tim Cook about it, and within a week got contacted by a staff person in his office. He worked exclusively with me to identify issues I had not considered, and followed up on all of the direct effects and side effects until they were resolved.

I emailed Craig about several controversies and he was very quick to reply to me. We last talked about the rumor that Apple was giving iPhones trust scores.

Seconded, I wrote about an issue I encountered on facetime and I was sent many iPhones to test how widespread the problem was.
