Additional information:

  • Pinned messages appear at the top of the chat and are visible to all group members who were present when the message was sent. 
  • Tap or click the banner to cycle pinned messages.
  • Use the pin icon on the banner (or press and hold on mobile) for more options.
  • Chats can have up to three pinned messages. Pinning a new one replaces the oldest.
  • Pinned messages are shown in the order they were pinned, with the newest at the end.
  • If message is pinned and then a new member joins the group, they won't see it. Only messages pinned after they joined will appear for the new group members.

  • Disappearing messages are automatically unpinned and removed from the chat when their timer expires.
