WhatsApp Now Allows You To Pin Important Messages In Chat

Here’s a new feature that can be immensely useful for some: WhatsApp is introducing the ability to pin messages in a chat. This works for both group chat and one-on-one chats, and the pinned message will be stuck on top of the screen for easy reference.

According to the developers, all types of messages can be pinned – be it text, poll, image, emojis, and more. To pin the message, simply tap and hold the message you’d like to pin and select ‘Pin’ from the context menu. From this point, you have the option to choose how long the pinned message stays as pinned, with 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days to choose from (default is 7 days).

For group chats, admins can manage the setting to limit this feature to admins only or allow it to be used by any members of the chat group.

WhatsApp says the feature is currently rolling out to all users – so you should be seeing this feature right now, if not soon.
