Everyone’s favourite app WhatsApp is bringing another small feature update and this one will let you pin your favourite chats on top.

WhatsApp Android beta now allows users to select up to three chats right on top (including individual or group chats).

Just sign up, it takes a couple of minutes before you get added to the list. After it is done, reinstall WhatsApp again.
