Recently Whatsapp has launched a very interesting function, namely one that allows you to pin chats up. Thanks to it, users' enjoyment of the messaging app improves considerably, as it allows them to more quickly find chats with the contacts they message most often.

But in practice how does it work? A chat pinned to the top, quite simply, always remains at the top of the list on the WhatsApp home page, without therefore following the natural chronological order of interaction with contacts. As all users will surely have noticed, normally the chat at the top of the menu is the one with the person with whom the last message was exchanged. Well, with this function the system changes: the fixed chats, in fact, will always be the first to appear, alternating with the same criterion as the normal ones, i.e. in chronological order.
