On Tuesday, Meta-owned instant messaging program WhatsApp announced the arrival of Pinned Messages via a post on X (previously Twitter).

Users can pin a conversation by long-pressing on it and selecting Pin from the menu. A message can be pinned in the conversation for 24 hours, seven days, or one month; however, the default period is seven days.
Text messages, files, emojis pictures, polls, and videos of all forms can be pinned. Admins in WhatsApp groups can choose whether to allow only admins or participants to pin messages. Users will, as usual, be able to unpin these messages at any time.
WhatsApp’s messaging competitors, Telegram and iMessage, already have a pin message capability. This update had already been discovered on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.21.4.
