WhatsApp is bringing change that users are begging for and some are saying it’s ‘not enough’

META has given WhatsApp users the opportunity to pin up to three important messages in chats, instead of one.

But WhatsApp users say it’s not enough.

Last year, the popular messenger launched the ability to pin a message in a WhatsApp chat.

This means that a message will be flagged for everyone in the chat and can be easily retrieved even after the conversation has continued – for a limited time.

Users can set a time limit for which the message will be pinned, with one week being the default amount.

If WhatsApp users want to earmark a message for longer, it is advisable to use the star function instead.

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg announced yesterday that the app will increase the number of pins to a maximum of three messages per chat.

In groups or even in one-on-one chats, users can pin all kinds of messages, from a standard text or image to polls and emojis.

And in true WhatsApp fashion, messages are still end-to-end encrypted even when pinned.

However, users are still not satisfied.

“Three is not enough, make it five,” said one WhatsApp user Posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“There must be at least five,” another added.

A third person tweeted: “What I like is pinning unlimited posts, not just 3”

“I want to spend without limits,” said a fourth.
