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). The change was spotted by AndroidPolice, which says the feature is now live for WhatsApp Android beta users. Users on beta 2.17.162 and .163 should find the feature. It was working for our WhatsApp beta app as well.
The pin icon is accompanied by other icons to delete the chat, mute it and archive it. Even if users are chatting on a different window, the pinned chats will stay on top of the list. Here is how :
Press on the individual/ group chat you want to pin to the top, and choose the Pin symbol from the top bar. The other options alongside Pin are Delete, Mute, and Archive.
Remember the feature has only gone live on WhatsApp beta, not on the regular version of the app. Users will have to be a beta tester on Android smartphones. If you want to become one, you need to go to WhatsApp on the Play Store. keep scrolling down, and you’ll see an option to sign up as a beta tester. Just sign up, it takes a couple of minutes before you get added to the list. After it is done, reinstall WhatsApp again.
