Favorites in iMessage

I mistakenly deleted a Favorite in Messages. I’m trying to add the Contact back to my Messages Favorites, but when I go to Contacts, Add Favorite, and select Messages, it does not add the contact back. I just updated to 16.1.2.


thanks

Hi towneyk,


Are you referring to pinning an important conversation in the Messages app? If so, for help with pinning a conversation test the steps below found in the article here: Use Messages on your iPhone or iPad


"iPhone showing how to pin a message. 

Pin important conversations

  1. In Messages, tap Edit or the More button .
  2. Tap Edit Pins , then tap the Pin button .
  3. Tap Done.

You can also touch and hold a conversation to pin it. In iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 and later, you can pin up to nine conversations."



However, if you're referring to adding a VIP contact to your Favorites list for quick dialing, the steps below found here will assist. Use Contacts from the Phone app on iPhone


"Add a Favorite

You can add VIP contacts to your Favorites list for quick dialing.

Select a contact, scroll down, then tap Add to Favorites."


The guide page here also has some helpful information. Send and receive messages on iPhone

If there's a different feature you're looking to use, provide some additional information and we'll continue to assist.
