Twitter for iOS, Android, and web now lets you pin as many as six DMs to the top of your inbox.
Until now, the feature was only available to Twitter Blue users who have to hand over a monthly fee of $3 for extra goodies, but now the pinning feature is open to everyone on Twitter.
With so many other apps already offering the ability to pin messages, the only surprising thing about Twitter’s new feature is that it’s taken this long for the company to roll it out. But roll it out it has.
The ability to pin DMs allows you to organize your messages a little better and place those that are important to you in a more easy-to-find place.
It’s really simple. For mobile, just tap on your messages button at the bottom right of the display, select a message you want to pin, slide right, and tap on the pin that appears. It’ll then magically shift to the top of your inbox in a “pinned conversations” section so you can find it more easily later. An animation from Twitter also shows how it’s done …
Keep your fave DM convos easily accessible by pinning them! You can now pin up to six conversations that will stay at the top of your DM inbox.

Twitter has been showing DMs some love over the last year as it seeks to boost its usage. Changes have included the ability to send a tweet to up to 20 people separately rather than as a group, as was the case before. “No more (awkward) accidental group chats when you DM a tweet to multiple people,” Twitter said when it launched the feature.
In other recent Twitter developments away from DMs, the platform this week introduced a new “automated” label for “good” bot accounts, a move designed to help users sort good automated content from the bad stuff.
Earlier this month it also started testing variable playback speeds for video content and voice tweets. If the feature goes live for everyone, you’ll be able to choose from a range of playback speeds, starting at 0.25x for slower replay and increasing in 0.25x increments until you hit the maximum speed that’s twice as fast as the original.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
