The option to pin a chat to the top is certainly a basic yet useful feature in messaging apps. By pinning a chat you can choose an important conversation to always stay at the top. This way you can be sure that a particular chat isn’t lost among other chats and can be retrieved quickly. Facebook Messenger still lacks this nifty feature. On the other hand, WhatsApp (by Facebook) allows users to pin messages.
Snapchat users can also pin conversations to the top of their chat list. Perhaps, if you are using Snapchat on iPhone or Android then you can pin your favorite or important people right now. Here’s how you can do it.
How to Pin Someone on Snapchat to the top
- Make sure the Snapchat app is updated to the latest version. [Refer: How to update apps in iOS 13]
- Open Snapchat and go to the “Chat” tab.
- Here you will see your friends list on Snapchat. If a person you wish to pin isn’t visible in the list then search for them.
- Tap and hold (long-press) the person’s name.
- Tap “Chat and Notification Settings” and select “Pin Conversation“. This will pin that specific person to the top of your chat list.
Alternatively, you can go to a person’s profile and tap on 3 horizontal dots at the top right. Then go to “Chat and Notification Settings” and tap the “Pin Conversation” option.
Similar to WhatsApp, you can only pin up to 3 people at the same time on Snapchat. If you wish to pin some other person then you first need to unpin one of your pinned conversations.

How to Unpin a Conversation on Snapchat
The procedure to unpin a chat is similar, as well. Navigate to the chat list, then tap and hold the pinned person at the top. Tap on “Chat and notification settings” and select “Unpin Conversation”.
Note: If you can’t see the pin conversation option despite running the latest version of Snapchat then you need to wait. It’s probably being rolled out in phases.
