Replying kicks you to the top: WeChat power user finds two workarounds for batch replies
gefei55 · x · 2026-11-04
Blogger gefei55 details a frustrating WeChat interaction: replying to any unread message bumps that chat to the top of the mixed chat list, forcing endless scrolling when clearing dozens of messages.
After testing several failed approaches, he found two working workarounds:
- Right-click to pin without opening the chat — since you never enter the conversation, your list position stays put; then work through the pinned section, unpinning as you go.
- Right-click → open in separate window — pending chats stack as windows you close one by one.
His takeaway: if you don't deeply use your own product, you'll miss interaction flaws like this — the kind that quietly churn paying users.
