WhatsApp announced Thursday that users can now pin up to three messages in a chat to access them easily. Until now, users could pin only one message on top of a conversation with a contact or a group.<\/p>\n
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<\/a> last December.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s address or the venue of the outing that you have planned with your group.<\/p>\n To pin a message, you have to long press on it and select \u201cPin\u201d from the venue. You can also select the duration for the message \u2014 24 hours, 7 days (default choice), and 30 days \u2014 to stay pinned. This helps you get rid of pinned messages if the information becomes irrelevant on some days.<\/p>\n However, there is no option to keep a message like an address pinned forever.\u00a0 So you would need to re-pin that message in 30 days. The only alternative is to \u201cStar\u201d a message and access it through the contact information menu.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
