How to pin someone on Snapchat?

Are you tired of scrolling endlessly through your Snapchat conversations to find that one important message from a friend? Well, look no further. You can now easily pin someone on Snapchat, making it easier to find conversations from your important contacts on top of your chat list.

Snapchat’s pinning feature lets you pin important contacts at the top of your chat list to easily access them. This feature saves you from the painstaking task of scrolling endlessly through your message list.

So, without further ado, let’s see how you can pin any chat on top of your conversation list on Snapchat.

How to pin someone on Snapchat?

Pinning someone on the Snapchat app is easy. Using Snapchat’s pinning feature, you can pin up to 3 conversations at the top of your conversation list, which means you’ll always have access to them in seconds!

Here is how to pin someone on Snapchat in few simple steps.

1. Open Snapchat and go to your conversations tab.
2. Find the person you want to pin and long-press on their name or chat.
3. Tap on the “Chat Settings” option in the menu that appears and then select “Pin Conversation.”
4. The conversation will now appear at the top of your list for easy access.

You can repeat the process for two more contacts and pin them on top to quickly find their chats without wasting time scrolling through the app.

But if you can’t find the person you want to pin on Snapchat, try searching for them using the search bar at the top of the conversations tab.

Then tap on their Bitmoji to open their profile and tap the “3-dot” menu on the top-right.

From the menu, select “Chat Settings” and then “Pin Conversation” to pin it on the top of your chat list.

Once you’ve pinned a conversation, it will appear at the top of your chat list with a “pin” icon next to their name, making it much easier to find their messages.

Customize the Snapchat Pin Icon! (iOS/iPhone only)

Snapchat also lets you customize the “Thumbtack or Pin” icon on your pinned conversations. You can change the pin icon appearance by choosing different emojis to show it instead of your pinned conversations.

We tested this feature on both iOS and Android, but only iOS shows the updated emoji in place of the Thumback/Pin icon.

Here’s how to do it.

1. Open Snapchat on your iPhone and open your profile by tapping on your bitmoji.
2. On the profile page, press the “Gear” icon in the top-right corner to access your settings.
3. Scroll down until you see the “Friend Emojis” option under “Additional Settings” and open it.
4. Now, tap “Pinned Conversation” and choose your preferred emoji from the list.
5. That’s it. Your pin icon on your pinned conversation will now show the selected emoji, making it personalized and easy to identify.
