You might be used to pinning text conversations on your phone, and now you can pin your Twitter chats in much the same way. Twitter’s DM conversation pinning is now available to everyone on Android, iOS and the web without requiring a Blue subscription. The functionality is familiar — on mobile, you just have to slide a favorite conversation to the right and tap button to float it to the top of your inbox. You can pin up to six threads this way.
The expansion comes just a few months after DM conversation pins came to Blue users in November 2021. Not that it’s a shock, however. Twitter said it would use Blue to offer early access to features, and DM pinning was one of the first.
This broader release mainly gives a rough sense of how long it might take for Blue-first features to reach a general audience. While the timing is likely to vary based on the feature, the wait for this DM upgrade might just line up with what you’d expect. The months-long interval may have helped Blue members justify their $3 monthly outlay, but it wasn’t extreme.
