Messaging Locked contact

I have a new Iphone 12 Pro. I have someone that is locked at the top of my messaging and I do not want them there. How do I get rid of this?

Hello Macymom45,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you'd like to remove a conversation thread with a contact that is pinned. We can help point you in the right direction.


You can remove the conversation thread with the contact that is pinned at the top of the Message app by following these steps: Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Specifically the section that says, "Pin important messages."


Additionally, you can press and hold the contact's name > select, "Unpin."


Best regards.
