Meta\u2019s instant messaging app, WhatsApp, recently rolled out the self-destructing messages<\/a> feature and now, the company is rolling out the ability to pin specific messages in chats to the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature was rumored to launch this year, and Meta is finally doing it. The platform also recently brought back the “View Once” feature to its web and desktop versions<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app always had the ability to pin an entire chat but never the ability to pin a specific message in a chat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new feature makes it easier to locate a specific message in any chat and pin it to the top of the chat which is ideal to help focus on important information like dates, addresses, phone numbers, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, whatever you share will stay on the top of the chat for at least 24 hours. You also have the option to change it to seven days, or one month. Seven days is the default option.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
