WhatsApp will provide three different durations to unpin the message – 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days
WhatsApp, the meta-owned messaging platform, is developing a new feature for Android beta that will let users control the duration of pinned messages within chats and groups. It will be available in the future updates of the app. Users will have the option to choose a certain time frame after which the pinned message will be automatically unpinned.
With pinned messages, WhatsApp seeks to give users a feature that enables them to pin important announcements or information so that it is always visible at the top of a discussion. Thus, making sure that it is not obscured by other messages and that it is easily accessible.
