Here’s How WhatsApp Allows You to ‘PIN’ Chats for a Maximum of One Month

WhatsApp chats are getting a new boost this week, with users now able to pin their chats and not just contacts to their main feed. WhatsApp users have had the option to pin contacts to the top for a long time, but now the messaging app gives them the pinning option in one-on-one chats or group chats. “Pinned messages allow you to easily highlight important messages in group or 1:1 chats. This helps save users time so they can find current messages more easily,” WhatsApp explains in a blog post.

The good thing about the new feature is that you can also pin messages like text, polls, pictures and emoticons. The messaging app keeps these pinned chats end-to-end encrypted like all other messages in the app.

WhatsApp continues to add new features to its users that somehow help people engaged on the platform and also bring new features to the world of WhatsApp. Channels have recently become a new addition that could become a possible way for WhatsApp and Meta to make money in the near future. Going back to pin chats, WhatsApp allows people to set a limit on how long they want a single chat at the top of the screen.

WhatsApp Pin Chat Feature: How it works

WhatsApp Pin messaging feature is easy to use and anyone can do it with the latest update of the messaging app.

– WhatsApp users can long press on any chat

– Click Pin from the three-dot menu

– WhatsApp asks how long you want the chat to be closed

– You can choose between 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days

WhatsApp defaults to 7 days or weeks. When it comes to group chats on WhatsApp, the pinning feature is available to the group admin who can decide whether all group members can pin a message or only admins have this power. WhatsApp brings pin message feature to all users and you can try it on Android, iOS and even web/desktop version.
