Add a feature to pin messages to the top of chats in Wire Secure Messenger
Components
Wire is a secure end to end encrypted messenger full of gifs, music and video used for communication with friends and family.
Proposal
When you're using a messenger you obviously have a lot of chats on it. Your important chats might be low down the stream of chats. I'm proposing that there should be a feature available to pin your important chats with your family or your best friend to the top of all chats. In the image below you can see that while you long press on a chat you get the options of star and delete.You should also get an option to pin the chat to the top here after long pressing on the chat.
Mockups / Examples
Here I've presented how the pin option should look like. I've placed it next to the two options already available so that it's user friendly and easily accessible.
Benefits
The benefits of having a feature of pinned messages is that you will not have to scroll down to see your important chats with your family or friends. You can get easy access to chats that are important to you. You can always text them quickly without searching for them in the long list of chats. Your important messages will not be bothered by random messages that you receive. You can always pin your important groups or chats to the top which will make it user friendly and also easy to use.
I'd like to see this feature in Wire Secure Messenger soon.
Thanks!
