WhatsApp is an application that stands out for constantly implementing updates to improve organization and communication between users, especially in chats where relevant information can easily get lost among a sea of messages, something that happens very frequently in couples’ conversations.
In fact, the messaging platform owned by Meta has a specific tool to better manage these communications, lwhich allows its users to pin the most relevant chats and messagesranging from text, to surveys, images and emojis
Let’s remember that last March, this service used by more than 2,000 million people around the world made the introduction of major updates at an unprecedented speedas was the case of allowing users from the European Union to connect with those of other applications such as Telegram.
Among the most notable improvements that WhatsApp has begun to implement There is the inclusion of the possibility of pinning up to three messages at the top from the same chat. A novelty that was previously available in the beta versions of the application for iOS and Android.
The update, revealed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, also implies a significant increase over previous capacity, which limited this function to just one message. And as revealed by the specialized portal WABetaInfo, it is already working on the option to fix even more.
The goal of the application is to offer greater flexibility and efficiency in managing important conversations for users, although it is important to highlight that a temporality of the message must be selected set between 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. To do this positioning you need:
- Android: You must long press the message, press the three dots icon to open the options, select ‘Pin’ and then determine how long it will be highlighted.
- iPhone: It is necessary to press the message and then press the more options icon, then press ‘Set’ and then choose how long it will be highlighted.
- Web and Desktop: Go to the message you want to pin and click on the icon that looks like a down arrow, in the options click on ‘Pin message’ and then determine how long it will stand out. Finally, select ‘Set’.
Additionally, if the user touches the pinned message banner you will be able to go directly to where the message is in the chat. This part will also show the total number of pinned messages if there is more than one and the most recent will appear first. And if you want to unpin a message, you must:
- Android: Press and hold the message and then tap ‘Unpin’.
- iPhone: Press and hold the message, click the more options icon and select ‘Unpin’.
- Web and Desktop: Go to the message you want to unpin, click the more options icon and tap ‘Unpin’.
This feature is ideal for those conversations that you should always be aware of and find quickly. To set a chat you need:
