Stop messaging apps opening at last conversation

With iOS 9 one thing that always annoyed me was when opening the messaging app it would default to the last conversation thread you used. I would much prefer if it just opened to the main screen of all my conversations. I updated to iOS 10 and now whatsapp is doing this too! very annoying. Is there any way to change this behaviou?

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

What happens when you exit out of a message thread and close the message app and open it up again? It should take you to the main page and not the last thread you had open.
