Pinning someone on Snapchat can be an incredibly useful feature if you want to keep your most important conversations at the top of your chat list. The good news is, you don’t need to subscribe to Snapchat+, the platform’s premium service, to use the pinning feature. Pinning is available to all users, and it’s a simple way to prioritize specific friends or group chats on Snapchat.
Here’s how you can pin or unpin someone on Snapchat without Snapchat+, using both iPhone and Android devices.
What Does Pinning Mean on Snapchat?
When you pin a conversation on Snapchat, it stays at the top of your chat list, regardless of how many new messages you receive from other users. This ensures that important contacts or group chats are always within easy reach.
The pinned conversation will appear at the top of your feed with a small pin icon next to it, even if there are no new messages in the chat.
How to Pin Someone on Snapchat (iPhone & Android)
Step 1: Open Snapchat and Access Your Chats
– Launch the Snapchat app on your smartphone.
– From the camera screen, swipe right to access your chats or tap the Chat icon in the bottom-left corner.
Step 2: Locate the Conversation You Want to Pin
– Scroll through your chat list and find the conversation (whether it’s an individual or a group chat) that you want to pin.
Step 3: Pin the Chat
– iPhone Users:
– Tap and hold on the chat you want to pin until a menu appears.
– From the options, tap Chat Settings, then select Pin Conversation. The chat will now appear at the top of your chat list with a pin icon.
– Android Users:
– Similar to iPhone, tap and hold the chat until a menu appears.
– Select Pin Conversation, and the conversation will move to the top of your chat feed.
Step 4: Customize the Pin Icon (Optional)
While this option is part of Snapchat+, you can still change the pin icon on regular Snapchat by going into Settings > Manage > Friend Emojis and customizing emojis for various relationships on your chat list. Although you won’t be able to change the actual pin icon without Snapchat+, this is a fun way to personalize your chat interface.
How to Unpin Someone on Snapchat
If you no longer want a conversation to stay pinned at the top of your chat list, you can easily unpin it with a few quick taps.
Step 1: Access Your Pinned Conversations
– Open Snapchat and navigate to your Chat list.
Step 2: Unpin the Chat
– iPhone Users:
– Tap and hold the pinned conversation until the menu appears.
– Select Chat Settings and then tap Unpin Conversation.
– Android Users:
– Tap and hold the pinned chat to bring up the menu.
– Tap Unpin Conversation, and the chat will return to its regular position in your list, based on recent activity.
Why Pin Conversations?
Pinning chats is especially helpful for keeping track of important conversations, whether they’re with a best friend, partner, or even a work group. It’s also useful for keeping group chats organized and making sure they don’t get lost among less relevant chats.
With Snapchat constantly updating with new messages, a pinned conversation ensures that you don’t have to scroll endlessly to find your most important chats.
Pinning and unpinning someone on Snapchat is a quick and easy way to manage your chats without subscribing to Snapchat+. The feature is available to all users, whether on Android or iOS, and can make it easier to keep track of your most important connections on the app. Just follow the steps above, and you’ll have complete control over which chats stay at the top of your list.
By keeping certain conversations pinned, you can ensure that the people who matter most are always just a tap away, making your Snapchat experience more efficient and enjoyable.
