WhatsApp allows you to pin a chat, which fixes the conversation to the top of the list even if there are no new messages in it and even if there are new messages in other, non-pinned chats. Currently, the platform allows you to pin up to three chats. While that number should be enough for most people, it might not be sufficient for the remaining. To address the issue, WhatsApp is now increasing the number of chats that you can pin.
According to a new report from WABetaInfo, the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android (version 2.24.6.13) allows you to pin up to five chats. According to the publication, the additional limit is not available by default, and it had to be activated manually. However, that’s only because the new limit is in the beta stage. When WhatsApp makes the new limit available in the stable version of the app, it should be active by default.
The ability to pin up to five chats could be very useful for people who use WhatsApp heavily, converse with many people, and want to pin more chats. At the moment, there’s no information about when WhatsApp will bring the new limit to the stable version of the app. However, considering WhatsApp’s feature rollout history, the company should make the ability to pin up to five chats available more widely in the next few months.
I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
