While the capability to pin chats and messages is not novel to WhatsApp, Meta's enhancement resolves previous limitations. Previously, users could only pin a single message, necessitating the unpinning of one message to pin another. However, with the updated version, users can conveniently pin multiple messages (up to three) simultaneously, along with the ability to pin up to five chats.

To pin a message on WhatsApp, users can long-press the text and select the pin option. Stable WhatsApp users are restricted to pinning a single message per chat, whereas select beta users can pin up to three messages concurrently. Additionally, users have the option to set a specific pin duration of up to 30 days for each message.
