WhatsApp, the popular messaging app owned by Meta, has introduced a new feature that allows users to highlight certain messages in their conversations. Starting this Tuesday, this functionality will be available to all users of the platform.

This innovative feature gives users the ability to pin messages to the top of any chat, whether individual or group. This makes it easier to find and access important or noteworthy information.
Choosing which messages to pin is done by long-pressing on the desired message, and users can even specify the length of time the message will remain pinned, with options ranging from 24 hours to 30 days.
Moreover, WhatsApp’s new feature is not limited to text messages. Users can highlight a variety of content such as polls, images, and emojis.

It is important to note that all this content remains protected by the app’s end-to-end encryption, ensuring the privacy and security of communications.
In group chats, group admins have the ability to configure who can pin messages, choosing between allowing this to all group members or limiting it to admins only. This update represents another step in Meta’s continuous efforts to improve the user experience on WhatsApp while protecting the security and privacy of your communications.
