Pinned chats have arrived in ChatGPTYou can only pin up to three conversations at a timeYou can also rename conversations to help find them<\/p>\n

OpenAI has been on a roll as the holiday season approaches, releasing more and more updates to ChatGPT. We\u2019ve had ChatGPT-5.2<\/a>, better AI image generation<\/a>, branched chats<\/a>, new apps like Apple Music<\/a>, and now\u2026 drum roll please\u2026 pinned chats.<\/p>\n

OK, pinned chats might not be the most exciting feature OpenAI has released in the last few days, but it\u2019s a welcome addition because it helps you organize your conversations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: a way to pin chats to the top of the conversations list in the left-hand menu bar, so you don\u2019t lose them.<\/p>\n

How to pin conversations in ChatGPT<\/p>\n

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 choose Pin. On mobile, you press and hold on a chat name and select Pin from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n

If you use ChatGPT a lot, you\u2019ll know how easy it is to lose a conversation thread in the growing list of chats, especially since they\u2019re named automatically in ways that don\u2019t always make sense. Pinned chats solve that problem by letting you keep especially important conversations at the top of the list so you can always find them. There is, however, one big restriction: you can only pin three chats.<\/p>\n

Why? We don\u2019t know. It feels like an unnecessary limitation, but for now you\u2019re restricted to pinning just three chats, no matter which ChatGPT tier you\u2019re using: Free, Plus, or Pro. The good news is that the pinning feature is available across all tiers, including Free.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a tip: if you\u2019re still losing track of conversations (because you can only pin three at a time), don\u2019t forget that you can always rename chats. That makes them easier to recognize and quicker to find later.<\/p>\n

Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n

To do this, just open the same menu you\u2019d use to pin a chat, and you\u2019ll see a Rename option there as well.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, pinned chats may not be the flashiest ChatGPT update this month, but it quietly solves a real problem \u2014 keeping your most important conversations exactly where you need them.<\/p>\n
