To always keep the most used conversations in Whatsapp in view, they can be pinned at the top and highlighted
In this guide we will show you how to fix the most used chats above on Android devices, on iPhone and finally on PC, thanks to WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop.
Highlight chats on WhatsApp
Once you have learned the steps described in the following chapters, it will become a piece of cake to highlight and fix the most important chats of friends, relatives, boyfriends, husbands / wives and co-workers, so that you can immediately check every new incoming message.
In the conclusions of the guide we will talk about other tricks and methods that can be used to use WhatsApp as real expert users, especially if we are using WhatsApp recently or we have only recently obtained a modern smartphone (remember that not all are born learned and that we have to start somewhere).
How to fix chats on Android
To fix a chat on Android devices, open the WhatsApp app (available for free from the Google Play Store), press and hold with the finger on the chat we want to fix, then press the pin-shaped symbol at the top, so as to always show it at the top of all chats.
If we want to fix more than one chat at the top, we hold down on the first one, then select one by one the chats that we want to be highlighted, finally using the pin-shaped icon to fix them. Obviously, in order to remove a highlighted chat, simply repeat the steps described above.
How to fix chats on iPhone
If we have an iPhone it is really very simple to fix the chats, using the sliding system typical of apps designed for Apple. In order to fix the highlighted chats, open the WhatsApp app (also in this case available for free on the App Store), identify the chat to be fixed and slide your finger on it to the right, so as to show the side buttons and be able to use Fixed.
We can repeat the steps for any other chat, so as to add them to the top and always keep them at hand. To remove a chat pinned at the top, scroll down to it again and use the button this time Don’t stare to go back to managing it as a normal chat (which will scroll based on the messages received and sent).
How to fix chats on PC
WhatsApp can also be managed when we are in front of the PC, just install the WhatsApp Desktop program (compatible with Windows and Mac) or connect to WhatsApp Web from any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are fine). Once the chosen service has been downloaded and / or opened, log in by scanning the QR code in the center of the app or website, taking us to the WhatsApp mobile app, pressing the three dots at the top right and choosing WhatsApp Web (on Android); if we have an iPhone we can do the same by pressing the bottom right of the menu Settings and pressing on the voice WhatsApp Web/Desktop.
At the end of the scanning of the QR code, we will immediately have access to our chats from a computer or browser; to be able to fix the chats we will have to click with the right button on the one to be fixed and press on Fixed chat.
The fixed chats will also be available on smartphones and we will be able, even from a computer, to fix more than one chat, so as to have the most important ones under control. By repeating the steps we will be able to remove one or more chats from the evidence, so as to be able to decide from time to time which chats should be placed in the foreground and which ones should be managed as normal chats.
