Circles with contact images on text message screen

How do I get back to the old format for text messages? After I get a group text, a circle with their images appears at the top. If I get another text from that group, a dot appears on the circle. I tried turning off "show contact images" in settings but they're still there. I want the old format appearance back. :(

I didn't "pin" anything. I didn't even know about "pins." They just appeared! Maybe it's some kind of update. I did as you said, and it worked! I hope it no longer happens. Thanks so much for your help!
