How to pin a message at the top of a WhatsApp group - in detail?

To pin a message at the top of a WhatsApp group, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your mobile device. Ensure that you have the latest version of the app installed to access all available features.
  2. Select the Group: Navigate to the group where you want to pin the message. You can do this by tapping on the "Groups" tab at the bottom of the screen and selecting the desired group from the list.
  3. Locate the Message: Scroll through the chat to find the message that you wish to pin. It could be an important announcement, a reminder, or any other relevant information that should remain visible at the top of the group.
  4. Long Press on the Message: Once you have located the message, perform a long press (hold your finger down) on it. This action will bring up a menu with several options.
  5. Select "Pin": In the menu that appears after the long press, look for the "Pin" option. It is usually represented by a pushpin icon. Tap on this option to pin the message to the top of the group chat.

  7. Unpinning a Message (if needed): If you need to unpin a message later, simply long press on the pinned message again and select the "Unpin" option from the menu that appears. This will remove the pushpin icon and the message will return to its original position in the chat.

By following these steps, you can effectively pin important messages at the top of your WhatsApp group chats, ensuring that crucial information remains visible and accessible to all members of the group.
