WhatsApp has recently announced an enhancement to one of its advanced features, allowing users to pin more than one message in a chat. This feature now allows up to 3 messages to be pinned, making it easier for users to access important messages in their chats by simply clicking on the pinned message section at the top of the contact or group conversation. This improvement has made the social platform more user-friendly, enabling users to quickly find the desired message without any hassle. Message Pinning In December 2023, WhatsApp introduced the message pinning option for both direct messages and group chats. According to TechCrunch, this feature allows users to pin various types of messages such as images, polls, texts, and videos. Pinned messages are visible to all members of the chat or group, making it convenient for everyone to access them with a single tap. This feature has proven to be quite popular as users can easily pin messages that they need to refer to frequently, whether it's a business file or a sentimental message. Since the introduction of the pinning feature, it has been widely embraced by users. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, and Will Cathcart, the head of WhatsApp, have announced that users can now pin up to three conversations in both group chats and direct chats. This advancement is expected to further enhance the popularity and accessibility of this advanced social platform. Pinning a Message Pinning a message in a direct chat or group chat is incredibly simple, thanks to WhatsApp's user-friendly interface. Simply tap on the desired text, video, audio, photo, or poll until different options appear. Then, click on the pin button at the top to mark the message as pinned. In a group conversation, all current members will be able to see the pinned message, while in a direct chat, the recipient can easily access it with a single tap. Features of Pinned Messages Pinned messages offer several useful features, including the ability to choose the duration for which a message remains pinned. Whether you opt for 24 hours, 7 days, or a month, the duration can be tailored to suit your needs and preferences. For instance, you can select a one-month duration for important messages that need to be visible for a longer period. However, it's important to update the pinned message after 30 days, as there is currently no option for pinning messages indefinitely. Starred messages serve as a viable alternative for preserving important messages in the chat history for easy access.
