Check if the chat has been pinned with the hint that appears at the bottom of the screen. You’ll also see the pin icon next to pinned conversations.
Confirmation when pinning the chat
It is possible, to pin a maximum of three calls. We therefore advise you to only use this function for the really important chats. When you pin a chat, it always stays visible at the top of the screen, even if you get new messages from other contacts.
