Teams will now support Chat with Self, a way to send yourself messages, images, files and do everything you can in a regular chat. A Chat with Self is a space that’s just for you. You can try out new features within the confines of a safe sandbox, send notes to yourself, share content with yourself to be able to access it easier across your different devices, and more.
This feature will show up automatically in a user’s pinned chat lists, and they can choose to keep it there or remove it. If they choose to remove it, the chat will just live in the chat list. If the user wants to find it again, they can click on New chat, type in their own name, and start chatting with themselves again. The user can also go to their own people card and start a chat from there.
The content in the self chat is searchable through the search bar at the top of the chat list, however, the user cannot (yet) search for themselves in that search box.

I had the same issue, but I just went to the web version today and it was pinned to my chats after switching to public preview. After this, I sent a quick message and it began being shown in Teams Desktop (Electron) in public preview and all updates installed as well as Teams iOS and Android.

"can unpin if they want" = How can I do that? The only option I see for the chat with myself is the "pop out" button.
Thanks!
