You can pin a message on WhatsApp in both a private conversation and a group conversation. The content of the message does not matter, you can pin a text message, poll, image or video in the chat. In each conversation you can pin a maximum of one message at a time, which will then appear at the top of the chat. We explain how to use the new function on WhatsApp!
This is how you pin a message in WhatsApp
Pinning a message on WhatsApp takes some effort. You must first go to the chat containing the app you want to pin. This can also be a group chat, in which case the message is pinned to everyone. Did you find the message? Then you can pin the message on WhatsApp with the following steps:
- Open ‘WhatsApp’ and go to a conversation;
- Press and hold the message you want to pin;
- Tap ‘More…’;
- Finally, choose ‘Pin’.
You can only pin one message per conversation in WhatsApp, so you may have to unpin an older message first. When pinning an app, you must then choose how long the message will be pinned. You can choose from 24 hours, seven days or thirty days. After that period, the message will be automatically disconnected, but you can also disconnect the app earlier yourself.
Function already available for everyone
The new feature is now available to everyone as WhatsApp has already released the update. Pinning messages in WhatsApp is possible from Version 23.25.80, so make sure you have updated the app to that version. You can then immediately pin messages in different chats, so you never forget a message again.
