According to the starred messages, all starred messages will have Star Badge. Using the search bar, we can find out easily.

How to Pin Conversations?

To use this feature first, you need to check your Play Store to update the messaging app. If you see an Update Button, just hit on that; if you do not, please wait for a while; you should see one soon. Then, enable the auto-update button in the settings for the updated app, so it will automatically update the new version will be installed when available.

After updating the app, if you don’t see the option, don’t get confused; the app is gradually rolling out as per Google standard. You want to wait for few days for the feature visibility after updating your app to the new version. You need to clear your cache and force closing the app, it works for some users, but we say not definitely. Since it is a server-side update, it won’t be available for everyone at the same one.
