This development builds upon the previous feature, which was limited to pinning a single message, reflecting WhatsApp’s commitment to enhancing engagement and easy access to important information.

Beneficiary Audience

This addition is available for both individual and group chats, with the ability to pin a diverse array of content including text messages, images, emojis, and polls.

Enhanced Access to Key Information

With this update, users can quickly access crucial messages without the need to sift through conversations or use the search feature, keeping important messages conveniently at the top of the conversation.

Pinning and Management Features

To pin a message, users need to long-press on the selected message and then choose the “Pin” option from the menu. WhatsApp also allows users to set the duration for how long the message remains pinned, choosing from 24 hours, a week, or even a month.

In group chats, the responsibility of who can pin messages rests with the administrators, allowing them either to grant this privilege to all members or restrict it to administrators only.

Security and Privacy

WhatsApp ensures that pinned messages, like all other messages on the platform, are protected with end-to-end encryption, maintaining the privacy and security of conversations.

This update represents a significant step in WhatsApp’s journey to enhance user experience, providing effective and swift communication tools for accessing necessary information with greater efficiency.
