How To Unpin A Text Message On An Iphone?

You might find it strange that you can accidentally unpin or hide a message from someone on your iPhone. But it is possible to do this with even your friends and family. Whether you did it accidentally or for another reason, you may want to reverse the process. Perhaps you unpinned a photo as a joke but now that person feels offended by the action. Or perhaps you hid the message accidentally and now want to reveal it again. Whatever the case, here is how to un-pin or unhide messages on your iPhone without deleting them permanently.

How To Unpin A Text Message On An Iphone?

1. Tap on the iMessage app icon.
2. Select the message you want to unpin or unhide.
3. Tap on More.
4. Select Details and then tap on Unpin Message at the bottom of the screen.
5. Tap OK to unpin your message from the conversation thread in iMessage, which is a great way to fix any accidental unpins or hides from happening in the future if done again.
6. The message is now back in the conversation thread and can be viewed again by you but not by anyone else who has already read it before you pinned it again, which means that you need to send a new message for them to see it again if they already read it before your pinning action took place (which is why pinning messages can be a good idea if you are sending something sensitive).
7. The person who sent you that message will receive a notification stating that you have un-pinned their previous message so they will know why they no longer see it in their iMessage thread anymore and can just send another one if they need to get another one through now that it has been un-pinned by you (which is why un-pinning messages can also be a good idea if someone sends something offensive or inappropriate).

What Happens When You Delete A Text Message?
