If WhatsApp clearly likes to rush, the app always catches up. We now call pinned messages a list of key features that take longer to arrive than its competitors. The app finally started testing this functionality last March. After months of silence, the feature returned to the beast in October, indicating an imminent deployment.
It did not fail. WhatsApp announced in the Communities tab that all users will now be able to pin the message of their choice to a chat. It is also interesting that the app already allows you to pin up to three conversations for a period of time. Regardless, this feature will save its users valuable time.
It’s time to give WhatsApp the ability to pin messages
Indeed, especially in group chats, this option will make it possible to instantly find the most important message, whether it is the meeting place, event date or contact information. WhatsApp also states that this function can also be used in conversations between two users.
But WhatsApp wouldn’t be WhatsApp if the app didn’t add some limitations compared to the competition. While Discord doesn’t put any limits on the number of pinned messages, WhatsApp currently only lets you select one. If the user tries to pin the second one, it will replace the first one.
However, according to recent discoveries on the WABetaInfo site, this limit may be quickly removed; This shows that the latest WhatsApp beta version allows you to scroll through several pinned messages. However, the time limit remains. In fact, the user pinning a message will have to choose between three available durations: 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
