What Happens When You Pin a Chat in WhatsApp?

When you pin a chat in WhatsApp, it will automatically be stickied to the top of your list of conversations. You can pin up to three separate conversations simultaneously.

If you pin a second chat, it will appear above the first pin. You cannot manually reorder your list of pinned conversations, which means you might have to do a bit of fiddling to make them appear in your preferred order. If you know which three chats you want to pin before starting, add them in reverse order.

You can customize notifications and alerts for pinned chats in the same way as you would do for non-pinned chats.
