WhatsApp has realised that many people are using the messaging app to take notes and use them as reminders. You get the option to message yourself, which is more useful than most people think, and you also can pin chats to the top, especially the important notes that you want to see at the top, and not scroll down or search for it every time.

So, WhatsApp is now making the deal sweeter, by letting you pin up to three messages in a chat. The update was shared by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Meta this week, who has become a core part of the WhatsApp team in the past few years.

The ability to pin any message in WhatsApp was introduced back in December, and it is obvious that WhatsApp sees the need for more messages to be pinned to the top, and people are getting it now.

The pin to top feature works for both individual and group chats on the messaging app. You can keep the message pinned for anywhere between 24 hours to 30 days. WhatsApp gives you 7 days as the default timing to keep a message pinned to the top in a chat. You can pin text, images or even polls created in WhatsApp to the top of the chat.

WhatsApp Pin to Top Messages: How It Works

Whenever you want to pin a message, just long-press the bubble and then you will get a drop-down option which gives you the timing to pin the message. In case you want to pin a message for more than 30 days, WhatsApp doesn’t have a ‘pin forever’ option yet, so you will have to re-pin the message after every 30 days to keep it at the top of the chat.
