Popular social messaging app WhatsApp has finally rolled out it’s much awaited ‘pinned chats’ feature for all its Android users. The feature will let users pin their favourite chats on top of the app, making it easier to keep an eye on important conversations.

WhatsApp released a press statement saying, “With pinned chats, you never have to worry about scrolling through the long list of conversations to text your family members or your best friend”.

Users can pin up to three chats on WhatsApp and the feature works both for the group chats and individual chats. The update is now available for download on the Google Play Store.

How to do it?

  • Just open WhatsApp and tap-hold on the chat. 
  • You will get a pin icon right next to the delete, mute and archive option 
  • Select the pin option, and the chat will move at the top of the list. 
  • You can also unpin chats by repeating the same process you used to pin them. The chat will move down the chain of threads.
