WhatsApp has launched the ability to pin a message in a chat including text, polls, images, and emojis — only one chat at a time.
The feature has started rolling out to users. With pinned messages, you can easily highlight important messages in group or 1:1 chats.
“This helps save users time so they can find timely messages more easily. All message types like text, poll, image, emojis, and more can be pinned, and they are end-to-end encrypted,” WhatsApp said in a statement.
To ‘Pin’ a message, you can long press on the message, and select ‘Pin’ from the context menu.
A banner will appear to select the duration of the pinned message – 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days).
“Seven Days is the default choice. In a group chat, admins have the option to select if all members or only admins can pin a message,” said the company.
