Sometimes it becomes a task to hunt for important groups or
chats on WhatsApp with recent chats burying them even further. To make life
easy, the WhatsApp Android app has received an update which brings “Pin to Top”
feature on the chat list. With this, you can select the chats, including
groups, you want to see on the top whenever you open WhatsApp. If you’ve ever
been chatting with a bunch of different people during the day and got tired of
scrolling to find the person you want to respond to, this feature will come in
handy.
This feature is currently available only for the beta users.
Users with WhatsApp beta 2.17.162 or 163 versions can enjoy the feature. The
feature is presently in its testing stage and will be soon available on both
Android and iOS.
Users can only pin 3 contacts/chats. If the user tries to
pin more than 3 chats, WhatsApp will pop-up a message stating “You can only pin
up to 3 chats”. By bringing this feature on WhatsApp, the application reduces
the burden of scrolling down the long chat list for the users.
How to Use this Feature?
STEP 1: Open WhatsApp messenger on your Android or iOS phoneSTEP 2: Long press on the most contacted chat
STEP 3: Pin option will appear right next to the delete, mute, and archive icons at the top right corner of the screen
STEP 4: Click on the Pin icon, after which the chat will be pinned at the top of the screen
After successfully testing the feature, WhatsApp is
expected to eventually roll out the feature to both Android and iOS. However
there is no information on when the Pin feature might be released officially.
To unpin the chat, the user will just have to long press the
pinned chat and click on disable pin.
