WhatsApp update adds the ability to pin multiple messages
WhatsApp has been testing lots of new features in the last couple of months. One of these features that was first spotted in a beta version of the app was the ability to pin multiple messages to a chat.

With the latest version of WhatsApp, users can pin up to three messages per chat (groups or individual conversations). Here is how the process of pinning multiple messages looks like:
According to WhatsApp, its users can pin messages for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Additionally, group chat admins have the ability to choose if all members can pin a message or just admins.
