WhatsApp Allows Users to Pin Multiple Messages in a Chat

Jakarta – WhatsApp has launched the ability to pin three messages in a conversation. This was revealed through social media X.

Both Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp head Will Cathcart announced this feature on their respective WhatsApp Channels. 

The chat app first rolled out the ability to pin a message in one-on-one and group conversations last December.

Users can pin all types of messages including text, images and polls. Pinned messages could be really useful for quickly getting information such as a friend’s address or the venue of the outing that you have planned with your group.

To pin a message, you have to long-press on it and select “Pin” from the venue. You can also select the duration for the message - 24 hours, 7 days (default choice) and 30 days - to stay pinned. 

This helps you get rid of pinned messages if the information becomes irrelevant on some days.

However, there is no option to keep a message like an address pinned forever. So you would need to re-pin that message in 30 days. The only alternative is to “Star” a message and access it through the contact information menu.
