How to Pin Conversations in WhatsApp
What is WhatsApp?
Since its launch in 2009, WhatsApp has become the world's most popular text and voice messaging application. Specializing in cross-platform messaging, WhatsApp is a free service that allows users to message one another seamlessly across mobile and desktop devices.
WhatsApp is known for its enhanced privacy features, such as end-to-end encryption, and its free, web-based international voice and video calling.
How to pin a chat
The pin chat feature of WhatsApp allows you to pin up to three particular chats to the top of your chats list so you can quickly find them.
If there is a particular conversation on WhatsApp that wants to keep to hand, for example, if you work remotely, you would want to keep your manager contact at the top not to miss any important updates. It is sometimes hard to do that because other messages would keep pushing it down. The solution is to pin them to your chat list. The process would be slightly different between iOS and Android. However, in both cases, pinning conversations in WhatsApp is pretty straightforward.

What Happens When You Pin a Chat in WhatsApp?
When you pin a chat in WhatsApp, it will automatically be stickied to the top of your list of conversations. You can pin up to three separate conversations simultaneously.
If you pin a second chat, it will appear above the first pin. You cannot manually reorder your list of pinned conversations, which means you might have to do a bit of fiddling to make them appear in your preferred order. If you know which three chats you want to pin before starting, add them in reverse order.
You can customize notifications and alerts for pinned chats in the same way as you would do for non-pinned chats.
How to Unpin a Conversation in WhatsApp
If you want to unpin a chat in WhatsApp, follow the steps below.
1. Open up the WhatsApp application.
2. At the top of your chat screen, select the chat that you want to unpin(if you have more than one chats pinned).
3. Tap and hold on the conversation menu.
4. Tap the pin icon that appears above the list of conversations to unpin the chat.
