- Pinned chats have arrived at ChatGPT
- You can only pin 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 rendering, branched chats, new apps like Apple Music, and now… drum roll please… pinned chats.
OK, pinned chats might not be the most exciting feature OpenAI has released in the last few 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 conversation list in the left menu bar so you don’t lose them.
How to pin conversations in ChatGPT
The feature is available on web and mobile on iOS and Android. On the web, you click the three dots that appear when your cursor hovers over a chat name and select Pin. On mobile, press and hold a chat name and select Pin from the menu that appears.
If you use ChatGPT a lot, you’ll know how easy it is to lose a conversation thread in the growing list of chats, especially since they’re automatically named in ways that don’t always make sense. Pinned chats solves that problem by letting you keep particularly important conversations at the top of the list so you can always find them. However, there is one major limitation: you can only pin three chats.
Why? We don’t know. It feels like an unnecessary limitation, but for now you’re limited to pinning only three chats, regardless of the ChatGPT tier you’re using: Free, Plus, or Pro. The good news is that the pinning feature is available across all tiers, 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. This 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, stuck chats might not be the flashiest ChatGPT update this month, but it quietly solves a real problem – keeping your most important conversations right where you need them.
