I use it - it’s hard finding conversations in the main list view sometimes, especially when you have overlapping groups with some of the same people, so I keep the people I text most up top.
No – I wish they would just pin to the top of the list. I don't like not being able to see the preview of the last message in the thread, and it takes up quite a bit of space.
I do but I need more friends, for balance. I’ve got three individuals at the top row and three groups on the second row. One of the groups is really temporary though — our annual ski trip that we’re still foolishly convincing ourselves will happen I February. But I can’t stand the idea of a row of three and a row of two...
I guess what I’m saying is I wish the pins changed size dynamically.
