Pinning a group text on your iPhone can be a lifesaver, especially if you're part of a large group or have a lot of ongoing conversations. To start, you'll need to open your Messages app and find the group text you want to pin.

The first step is to make sure you're in the group text conversation. This might seem obvious, but it's an easy mistake to make. You can do this by swiping left on the conversation in your Messages app.

To pin the conversation, tap the "Info" icon (it looks like an "i" in a circle) in the top right corner of the screen. This will bring up the group details, including the group name and the members.
