This article will tell you how to pin people on Snapchat and also tell you what a pinned conversation or person means on Snapchat.
NB : The ability to pin people or conversations in Snapchat is only available if you have updated to the latest version of Snapchat. However, it is likely that it will come to Android smartphones in the future.
How do I pin someone on Snapchat?
Installing on Snapchat is very simple and can be done with a few quick taps in the app. Here’s how to pin on Snapchat.
1. From the chat screen, tap and hold on a Snapchat friend’s name.
2. A menu will appear. Click on more.
3. Press Conversation pinning.
4. Your conversation thread with that friend will now be pinned to the top of the Snapchat Chat screen.
Repeat this process for anyone else you want to pin to Snapchat.
NB : You can only pin three people on Snapchat at a time.
How to unpin someone on Snapchat
Due to the limit of three pinned friends, you’ll probably have to unpin someone on Snapchat sooner or later to make room for someone else. Fortunately, unpinning people on Snapchat is very easy.
1. On the Snapchat chat screen, tap and hold on the pin you want to unpin.
2. In the context menu, tap more.
3. Press Break up the conversation.
This person will now be separated and placed in the rest of your Snapchat messages, arranged by date. Repeat the process to uninstall any others you want to uninstall.
What does “pin conversation” mean on Snapchat?
You may come across Snapchatters on other social media apps like Twitter and Facebook referring to “pinned conversations,” “pinned people,” or “pinned people” and wonder what that means. These terms refer to conversations or people in a user’s Snapchat app that they pin to the top of the screen by following the above steps.
Pinning someone on Snapchat does not change their account status. The people you select are not notified. This feature makes it easy to locate a conversation in the Snapchat app.
How to customize Snapchat Pin Icon
Like most emojis in the Snapchat app, you can also customize the symbol, emoticons, or entire emoticons used to refer to a pinned person or conversation.
1. Open your profile in the Snapchat app and tap Settings (gear icon) in the upper right corner.
2. Scroll down and tap administration.
3. Press Friends Emojis.
4. Press Pinned conversation.
5. Tap on the emoji you want to replace the default pin with. A subtle gray box should appear around it if it’s selected correctly.
NB : The change will be posted immediately. You do not need to click save or confirm changes.
6. Click on the arrow comment in the upper left corner until the settings menus are completely closed.
7. You should now see your new pin code running in the app.
