Why is there a limit on pinned conversations in Messages app?

Why can I only pin 9 text conversations? Why can’t I pin as many text conversations as I want? What does it matter? Might as well make it 6 or 3. Just let me decide how many I want to pin.

Why only 9 pinned text conversations? Why are we still only able to pin 9 text conversations. My company uses text message threads to work on projects, so I need to keep these pinned. BUT I also need to keep my top people I'm constantly texting there too. Why is there still a limit to how many text conversations you can have pinned?

Messages does not open on previous conversation, it goes back to message list after ios16 This is extremely annoying, I rely on reviewing old texts for billing clients so what I used to do in the past is, go through my messages and go all the way up the conversation and then switch to another app to capture the hrs worked, and before, if I went back to messages, it would display the last conversation I was in which was great but now, I look for the message, scroll all the way up, then go to my other app and when I return to continue to read the messages, it goes back to the message list!! so I have to go back and find the message and scroll all the way up and I have to do this for hundreds of messages so, it is so messed up and so much time consuming.. why is this happen all of the sudden??? Please help!
