Google Messages is getting much stricter about pinning chats

Google Messages is set to implement a more stringent policy regarding the pinning of chats, with the tech giant preparing a new UI that allows users to pin up to six conversations instead of the previous limit of 20. This new "Select chats to pin" feature, recently spotted in beta, enables users to reorder their pinned chats and select contacts either by browsing a list or performing a search.

The redesigned pinning surface, situated at the top of the screen, will feature a row of selected chats followed by recent conversations and a contact list. Users can access this new feature by tapping the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner.
