Pin up to 3 WhatsApp chats on top; here's how

The first app to pop up in your mind when you have to quickly message someone is WhatsApp. May it be an Android or iPhone user, everyone has WhatsApp installed on their phone. The application is being used for chatting, sending media, files, sharing status, and much more and that too free of cost and instantly. All that you require is a good internet connection. You can connect to all the contacts saved in your phonebook over WhatsApp, if they have the app installed in their phone. With so many people to connect with and getting too many messages in your chat box, you may not be able to keep a track and struggle to search for some specific chats that are important or with whom you connect frequently. This is when you need to pin a chat to the top of the WhatsApp chat list.

WhatsApp has a pin chat feature that allows you to pin up to three specific chats to the top of your chat list. When you pin some important chat, it appears right on top of all the other chats, thus letting you quickly find them and reach them. Both the Android and iPhone users can pin chats to the top of their chats list on WhatsApp. It can be noted that you can also unpin a chat from the chat list, if it is no longer required. Here is how you can pin and unpin chats on WhatsApp on both the Android and iPhone.
