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

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.
