How to pin a message

Learn how to pin messages in your chats for easy access.

Pinning a message keeps it visible near the top of the chat for everyone, for a set amount of time.

Pin a message

  1. Press and hold the message you want to pin.
  2. Tap the pin icon in the top bar.
  3. Choose how long to keep it pinned: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
  4. Tap Pin.

Unpin a message

Press and hold the pinned message, then tap the pin icon again (Android) or tap Unpin message (iPhone). It unpins immediately - no confirmation needed.

Who can pin messages

In a group chat, only group admins can pin or unpin messages. In one-on-one chats, either person can.
