Here is a big update from WhatsApp users gained the ability to pin their chats in addition to their contacts on their main feed, giving their conversations more power. Longtime WhatsApp users can now pin contacts to the top of their conversations, though the feature is only available in group or one-to-one chats. “With pinned messages, you can easily highlight important messages in group or 1:1 chats. This helps users save time so they can more easily find timely messages,” WhatsApp said in its blog post.
In this Update to users ability to pin text, polls, images, and emoji messages is a nice addition to the new functionality. Like all other conversations on the messaging app, these pinned chats will remain end-to-end encrypted.
WhatsApp keeps adding services for its users, which attracts new users to the network and helps those who are already using it in some capacity. Another innovation that could introduce a revenue stream for Meta and WhatsApp shortly is Channels. Returning to pinned conversations, WhatsApp now allows users to specify a time limit for how long they would like to keep that single chat open at the top of their screen. With the latest version of the messaging program, one can easily use the WhatsApp PIN message function.
WhatsApp users can long press and hold on to any conversation-
- From the three-dot menu, select Pin.
- When you want to pause a chat on WhatsApp, it will ask you for how long.
- One can choose between 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
WhatsApp’s default selection is still one week or seven days. When it comes to WhatsApp group conversations, group admins can control whether all group members can pin a message, or only the admin will have this power.
