WhatsApp’s new update to allow users to pin messages within chats, group

According to WhatsApp news tracker WABetaInfo, the messaging platform owned by Meta is developing a new feature that would enable users to pin messages within chats and groups.

WABetaInfo says that the feature is useful because it will let people put important messages at the top of a conversation.

The app will display a message in the chat instructing the recipient to upgrade to the most recent version that is available on the store if a message is pinned and the recipient is using an older version of the app.

Users will be able to use this feature to pin important messages to the top of the conversation, allowing them to quickly access them without having to sort through the plethora of messages they receive every day. The functionality is currently in development and may first be made available to beta testers before being made available to the general public.

WhatsApp is really working on the ability to pin messages, as shown in this screenshot. The website's message read, "The app will add a message to the conversation in order to ask the recipient to upgrade to the latest version available on the store" in the event that a message is pinned and the recipient is using an older version of WhatsApp.

This feature will be especially useful in official WhatsApp groups, where it is difficult to locate a specific message due to the volume and speed of messages. It will be included in an upcoming version of the app.

In addition, WhatsApp plans to release a new feature that will enable users to quickly create calling shortcuts from the app's contact list.

Users of the instant messaging platform will be able to create calling shortcuts by tapping any specific contact list within their contact list with the release of an upgrade. When this feature becomes available in a subsequent version, users will be required to update their application from either the App Store or Google Play in order to gain access to it. The functionality is currently being developed, and the Android app is likely to be the first to receive it.
