WhatsApp to let you pin up to three messages in chats
WhatsApp has made it easier for users to pin important messages in chats, with quick access to information. According to Meta Chief Mark Zuckerberg, users can pin up to three messages from within a conversation, from the previous pinned message feature.
WhatsApp will not only let users pin messages, but even media or polls, that can stay at the top of the chat for 24 hours, 7 days, or even a whole month. If one message is pinned, it will show up as the chat banner, but if there are more than one, then the banner will display how many messages have been pinned, with the most recent appearing at the top.
To pin messages, users will simply have to press the message and select ‘pin’ from the drop-down options displayed, along with selecting the duration the message needs to be pinned for. Messages can be unpinned the same way.
WhatsApp’s new pinning feature has been designed to enhance user experience and make it easier for users to access important information in their conversations. This feature allows users to pin messages, media, or polls at the top of their chat for easy reference.
