Google Messages Now Allow More Important Chats To Install On Top Inbox

JAKARTA - Google Messages launched a small but useful update that now allows users to install up to 20 conversations at the top of the messaging list. Previously, the maximum limit was only 10 conversations. With this increase, users can more easily keep important chats both private and group stay in the top position for fast access.

This update appears to be made through the server side, so users just need to make sure their app has been updated to the latest version.

Although fairly simple, this change has a significant impact on the convenience of users. The pin chat feature or the installation of messages at the top is very useful for those who want to keep certain conversations always easy to reach, without having to scroll down long.

Initially, Google only allowed three conversations to be installed on the message list. That number then increased to 10, and is now doubling it to 20. For most users, this may not be a too flashy feature, but for those actively communicating with multiple contacts or groups, this addition is clearly very helpful.

This pin feature works like placing a favorite application on the main screen of a cellphone. Users can organize chat sequences according to priority, ensuring important conversations stay in the same place every time they open the application.

Apart from private messages, this feature also applies to group conversations. How to use it is also easy: just press and hold the conversation you want to install from the main page of Messages until an icon appears at the top of the screen. Then, select a pin-shaped icon (peniti). To remove the pin, just repeat the same steps.

Since this update is made via the Google server system, users don't have to wait for big updates on the Play Store. Just make sure the Google Messages app has been updated to the latest version of This feature will appear automatically in the near future for all users.
