- Pinned chats have arrived on ChatGPT
- You can only set up to three conversations at a time
- You can also rename conversations to help find them.
OpenAI has been on a roll as the holiday season approaches, releasing more and more updates to ChatGPT. We’ve had ChatGPT-5.2, better AI imaging, branching chats, new apps like Apple Music, and now…drumroll please…pinned chats.
Okay, pinned chats may not be the most exciting feature OpenAI has released in recent days, but it’s a welcome addition because it helps you organize your conversations.
It’s exactly what it sounds like: a way to pin chats to the top of the conversations list in the left menu bar, so you don’t lose them.
How to pin conversations in ChatGPT
The feature is available on the web and on mobile devices on iOS and Android. On the web, you click the three dots that appear when the cursor hovers over a chat name and choose Pin. On mobile, you long-press a chat name and select Pin from the menu that appears.
If you use ChatGPT a lot, you know how easy it is to lose a conversation thread in the growing list of chats, especially since they are automatically named in ways that don’t always make sense. Pinned chats solve that problem by allowing you to keep especially important conversations at the top of the list so you can always find them. However, there is one big restriction: you can only pin three chats.
Because? We don’t know. It seems like an unnecessary limitation, but for now you’re restricted to pinning only three chats, no matter what level of ChatGPT you’re using: Free, Plus, or Pro. The good news is that the pinning feature is available on all levels, including free.
One more tip
Here’s a tip: If you’re still losing track of conversations (because you can only pin three at a time), don’t forget that you can always rename chats. That makes them easier to recognize and quicker to find later.
To do this, simply open the same menu that you would use to pin a chat and you will see a Rename option there too.
Ultimately, pinned chats may not be the flashiest ChatGPT update this month, but it quietly solves a real problem: keeping your most important conversations exactly where you need them.
