Avid Snapchat users know how quickly their chat page can become overwhelmed with multiple conversations. If you tend to chat with a lot of people every day, some important conversations can get lost in the crowd.
The solution to this problem is to set up a conversation. This way you will always have it at the top of the page, regardless of whether the chat has been active recently.
This article will show you how to pin a friend’s conversation on Snapchat on your device.
How to pin a friend’s conversation on Snapchat on an iPhone
Conversation pinning was introduced for iPhone users in 2019. Nowadays, the feature is well developed and you can use it by following the below method.
- Open Snapchat and tap the “Chat” icon. Alternatively, you can swipe right to enter the chat menu.
- With the chat screen open, find the conversation you want to pin. Tap and hold it until the menu appears.
- Choose “Chat Settings.”
- In the next menu, select “Set conversation.”
It is worth mentioning that you cannot set more than three conversations at the same time. If you rely on the pin feature to keep your chats organized, you’ll need to make sure there’s room for a new pin.
How to Unpin a Friend’s Chat on Snapchat on an iPhone
If you no longer want a conversation to be pinned on Snapchat, you can remove it from the top of your chat list by following these steps.
- Launch snapchat and go to the chat list. You can do this by swiping right or tapping the “Chat” icon.
- Long press on the pinned chat to bring up the menu.
- Select “Chat Settings” from the list of options.
- Tap “Unpin Conversation” to complete the action.
The person you have pinned or unpinned will not be notified of any of the actions.
How to Change the Pin Icon in Snapchat on an iPhone
You may want to have a different icon to represent a pinned chat instead of the default pin. You can’t assign different icons to different pinned conversations, although that would be helpful when you need a quick reminder about the topic. However, changing the pin icon represents a great customization option.
Here’s how to change the pin icon to a different one.
- After opening Snapchat, tap your profile photo located at the top left.
- When you’re on your profile page, tap the “Settings” button at the top right. The option is represented with a gear icon.
- Scroll down the Settings page until you reach “Additional Services.” Tap “Manage.”
- Tap the “Friend Emojis” option.
- Find and select “Pinned conversation.”
- A list of icons will appear. Scroll through the selection and tap the icon you want.
Can you pin a friend’s conversation on Snapchat on an Android device?
At the moment it is not possible to pin Snapchat conversations on Android devices.
The option became available to iOS users because Snapchat decided to test it with the iPhone first. The company has been receiving customer feedback for years about the missing feature. Still, it remains impossible to pin a conversation on an Android device.
This doesn’t mean the option won’t be available to Android users at some point. And when it does, it will probably work similarly to the iPhone version.
In the meantime, smartphone owners will have to make do with specific options exclusive to the iPhone.
Certain Snapchat clone apps may look and feel similar to the original and feature conversation pinning on Android devices. However, cloned apps are often considered less secure and are not widely recommended, especially for users without sufficient experience in technology and cybersecurity.
Keep important chats at your fingertips
If you have an iPhone, you will find the option to pin conversations on Snapchat useful. The most relevant chats will always be visible until you decide to unpin them.
With the simple method described here, you should have no problem pinning a conversation on Snapchat.
