Twitter DM is getting another upgrade, and direct messages can now be pinned to the top of your inbox. Twitter announced the feature on Thursday in a tweet that showcased the feature on iPhones where users can swipe individual conversations to access the option.

Meanwhile, to pin a conversation on the best Android phones, you have to press and hold the message you want to save. “Pin Conversation” should appear above the other options. On the web, the option will appear via a three-dot menu when you hover over a conversation in your inbox.
Being able to pin a conversation is a handy feature that can help you avoid threads getting lost in an endless stream of DMs, especially for users with more followers.
Pinned conversations were previously exclusive to Twitter Blue subscribers on iOS, but only via the Labs feature and longer video uploads. However, it’s unclear if expanding the video will also go beyond the paywall.
Last year, Twitter made improvements to DMs, allowing users to send tweets in bulk without creating groups. It also enables better thread grouping and an arrow to easily jump to the latest news when scrolling through threads.
Twitter’s canned conversations should be available to everyone on iOS, Android, and the web.
