Messages not staying pinned in iOS 14 on iPhone

I LOVE the Message Pin feature in iOS 14!!! However, I'm running into this issue...


I have 6 messages pinned, 2 group messages and 4 individuals. Every time I close my Messaging app and reopen it back up, one of the group messages is unpinned! It's always the same one. Sometimes when I go to add it back in, when I click "Done" it will disappear again. I reset my phone, which did not help.

I have this same issue, a combination of individual & group messages. For individual pins, I am able to pin both iMessage & non-iMessage users. However, for group messages, I am only able to pin those that are all iMessage users. If a group has some non-iMessage users (e.g., Android), I notice that I am not able to pin those group messages.

Two of my 6 pins just disappeared this morning. When I do a search for them they don’t even show up in the list. The really weird thing is that I figured out that one of the missing pins now shows up as someone else, and that someone else’s messages still come through too under their own name and picture. Sometimes I can tell by context who is sending the message but not always. I’ve power cycled my phone a couple of times. I’ve also closed all of my open apps but this is driving me crazy! Any suggestions would most welcome.
