Good news for WhatsApp users!
The messaging giant has just rolled out a highly anticipated update that makes it even easier to stay organized and connected.
Until recently, users could only pin up to three chats at the top of their conversation list — a handy feature for keeping important conversations easily accessible.
But now, with the April 2024 update, WhatsApp has officially expanded the limit — you can pin up to five chats!
Why This Matters
For anyone juggling multiple conversations — whether for work, family, or personal projects — this small but powerful change makes a huge difference.
No more constantly scrolling through dozens (or hundreds) of chats to find the ones you need most often.
Now you can keep your top five most important conversations locked right at the top of your screen.
How to Pin More Chats
If you haven’t used the pin feature yet, here’s how it works:
Long-press the chat you want to pin.
Tap the pin icon that appears at the top of the screen.
Repeat for up to five chats now instead of just three!
Pinned chats will stay at the top of your chat list even as new messages come in elsewhere — making your WhatsApp experience faster, smarter, and less cluttered.
More New Features on the Horizon
This update is part of WhatsApp’s broader push to improve usability and compete with other messaging apps.
Other features being tested include:
New ways to manage group chats more easily
Enhanced privacy options for status updates
Better backup controls
If you haven’t updated your app yet, head over to the App Store or Google Play Store and make sure you’re using the latest version to enjoy this new functionality.
A Small Change That Makes a Big Difference
Sometimes it’s the little improvements that have the biggest impact.
With more pinned chats, WhatsApp is making it easier than ever to stay connected to the people and conversations that matter most — without the endless scrolling.
