How to Set a Favorite Message, Conversation or Chat on WhatsApp on Android or iPhone

We well know that the rivalry between WhatsApp vs Telegram has been able to steal some users from the messaging pioneer; so you never tire of innovating, improving your interface, adding options or improving the ones you already have. This, in order not to make the use of the application repetitive, monotonous or heavy, to remain as the best platform when it comes to communicating online: It is didactic practice and shortcuts.

In this way, there is a fluid communication, without delays and with tools to improve the meeting of chats, contacts and even messages. It is precisely the above and the need to keep its users happy, which has motivated the company to implement the option to pin conversations… You had no idea that this alternative was also available on WhatsApp? Here we tell you in simple steps how to achieve it!

What does it mean or what does it mean to anchor a conversation on WhatsApp?

In principle, we must know what we mean when we talk about anchoring chats on WhatsApp: It consists of placing a conversation permanently at the top of the application screen; so that, even though there are others in force, said chat do not lose sight. It is an option that is used in case of frequent dialogues, that contain important data, or that are in the list of favorite contacts.

When fixing it, as its name says, it remains unmovable in the first line … That is, It will be the number one chat that you read when entering the application. Likewise, several chats can also be set, which will be grouped one below the other according to the time in which it has been selected: When selecting one, it is positioned first, and the one that was before, is placed below.

In this way, priority is given to the contact that is anchored in immediacy, and the others are progressively decreasing. However, they remain above those who have not been anchored and that are organized by the hours in which the messages are received. In the same way, chats can be unset when you decide, either because it is not necessary to keep it fixed or because it is no longer important.

How can I fix a conversation or chat on WhatsApp so as not to lose sight of you?

To achieve this, you should only have WhatsApp downloaded and chats started; then, locate the conversation you need to set at the start of the app. When you have already found it, keep your finger pressed on the chat box; when you leave it pressed you will see that it will be shaded with a grayish color, and then it will appear marked with a green “check”.

As this is the case, you will see certain icons at the top of the screen: The option to pin a message is a bedbug graphic for stationery. Clicking on it will immediately fix the conversation in question and move to the first place. You will know that it is registered, that icon that characterizes the option in an immovable way will be constantly: If you receive new messages, the amount enclosed in a green circle will be displayed next to the bed bug.

In case you want to anchor several chat bubbles, after the first conversation is marked you can choose all the chats you need to pin. By having all the contacts you need marked with the green check, you click on the thumbnail and they will be automatically set in order as they were selected.

How else can I easily pin or remember messages on WhatsApp?

As we have mentioned, what we can anchor in this way are entire chats that tend to have a certain frequency or relevance in our communications. However, also messages can be marked individually that have some kind of relevance; no matter that the chat we do not want to keep it fixed on the screen.

For this we are going to mark the messages as favorites: Enter the chat that has the message you want to remember, put your finger on the text bubble and keep it pressed until it is shaded again and some controls appear above. Click on the star and … Done! You will have already highlighted the messages; To see them you will only have to access the “featured messages” section from the menu.
