Mumbai: Leading social media messaging platform, WhatsApp launched a new feature. The new feature will allow users to pin up to three chats on the platform. Before this, users were allowed to pin only a single message on the platform.
The new feature will make it easier for WhatsApp users to find and access important chats on the platform. It is expected to be available in WhatsApp for Android and iOS, and Web in the next few days.
The pin to top feature works for both individual and group chats. One 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.
