You know, Snapchat is such a fantastic platform for connecting with friends and sharing those silly, memorable moments. But have you ever wondered how to give special attention to a particular friend on Snapchat? Well, today I’m going to reveal an undeniably cool feature that lets you do just that: pinning and unpinning someone on Snapchat!
So, what exactly does it mean to pin or unpin someone on Snapchat? Simply put, it’s a way to highlight a specific friend’s chat or story, making it easily accessible at the top of your Chats or Stories screen. It’s like saying, “Hey, you’re important to me, and I want to make sure I never miss what you share!”
Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of this feature. To begin, open up Snapchat and find the friend you want to pin. Tap and hold their name or Bitmoji anywhere on the screen. A menu will pop up with various options, but what we’re interested in today is the “Pin” option. Tap “Pin” to let the magic begin!
Once you’ve pinned a friend, their name or Bitmoji will appear at the top of your Chats screen. This means that no matter how much you chat with other friends, you’ll always see your pinned friend right there, ready for a quick catch-up. Pretty neat, huh?
But hey, maybe you’ve changed your mind or simply want to unpin someone. No worries, my friend – it’s as easy as putting a smile on your face. To unpin a friend, follow the same process. Tap and hold their name or Bitmoji, but this time, select the “Unpin” option. Poof! Just like magic, they’re no longer pinned. But don’t worry, you can always pin them again whenever you feel like it.
Now, there may come a time when you’ve pinned more than one friend on Snapchat (hey, we all have those special pals, right?). In that case, the most recently pinned friend will appear first on your Chats screen, followed by the rest in order of pinning. Your stories work the same way – just with a different section. The first pinned story will be shown prominently, making it easy for you to keep up with your dearest friends’ tales.
So, there you have it – the secret to pinning and unpinning someone on Snapchat is now all yours! Remember, this feature is such a fantastic way to show your friends how much they mean to you. Take advantage of this neat trick and never miss a beat with your favorite people on Snapchat. It’s a small gesture that can make a big impact in your connection. Now go ahead and start pinning your way to a more personalized Snapchat experience. Happy pinning!
If you’re a big user of Snapchat and you get tons of new messages every day, you might accidentally miss snaps from your best friend or someone special. So, how can you solve this problem? It’s simple. Just pin their conversations to the top so that no matter how many unread messages you have, their chat will always be at the top.
Now, let me show you how to pin or unpin someone on Snapchat in this guide.
How Do Snapchat Pins Work?
On Snapchat, you can pin your most important chats to the top of the list. This means that by pinning the chat with your favorite or important person, you’ll always see their messages, even if they would have been buried under other chats. It’s also a great way to separate the chats from important people on Snapchat from your other conversations.
How To Pin Someone On Snapchat
Before, you could only pin chats on Snapchat for iPhone. But now, this feature is also available on Android. To pin a chat, just follow these steps:
- Open the Snapchat app and swipe to open the chat menu.
- Long press on the chat you want to pin.
- A menu will appear at the bottom of the screen, and you need to choose Chat Settings.
- Once the chat settings menu opens, tap Pin Conversation, and you’re done.
How to Unpin Someone On Snapchat
If you accidentally pinned the wrong chat or want to unpin a chat because it’s no longer necessary, don’t worry. The process is simple. Just repeat the same steps you followed to pin the chat. Still confused? Take a look below, and everything will become clear.
- To unpin a chat, just press and hold on the chat you want to unpin.
- Then, go to Chat Settings.
- Finally, tap on Unpin Conversation.
Even though you unpin a chat, it will still be visible in your Snapchat conversation list. It just won’t be at the top of your chat list anymore. And don’t worry, the person or group you unpin won’t even know that you moved them down your priority list! If you don’t need a Snapchat conversation anymore, you can also delete it.
Extra Tip: How to Make Someone Your #1 Best Friend or #1 BFF
If you are a Snapchat+ user, you can take pinning to the next level by making someone your #1 BFF. This is a special feature that’s not available for regular Snapchat users.
All you have to do is long-press on the person’s conversation (the person you want to make your #1 BFF), and you will see an option to pin them as your “#1 BFF” with a red heart emoji.
But remember, only you and the person you pinned as your BFF will know about this. No one else can see your Best friend list. The Snapchat app can’t control or change this Friend emoji. This is different from pinning a conversation on Snapchat because the person won’t know when you pin their chat. It’s similar to how you can’t know when someone deletes you on Snapchat.
What Happens When You Pin Someone as Your BFF on Snapchat?
If you’ve been using Snapchat for a while, you’re probably familiar with Snapchat’s emoji system. It’s where the app uses emojis to show your level of engagement with another user.
It’s kind of like reaching a milestone with someone and then showing it off with these badges/emojis. There are currently 9 friend emojis on the platform, each with a unique meaning and criteria. You can choose the emoji you like, but the criteria for the emojis stay the same.
Let me break it down for you. If you and someone else have a yellow heart emoji on Snapchat, that means you two are each other’s number one best friend. Basically, you engage with each other the most. You’re besties, and the yellow heart represents that.
Now, if that yellow heart turns red, it means you two have been besties for over two weeks. It’s an upgrade! But here’s the catch – you have to keep engaging with each other the most on Snapchat for at least two weeks straight!
The cool thing about Snapchat is that it keeps getting better. If you manage to keep engaging with someone for over two months straight (which is no easy feat), you both earn the title of “Super BFF.” This is represented by the pink double heart emoji. It’s the highest honor of friendship on Snapchat.
Now, if you’re a Snapchat+ user and you’re paying for a subscription, you get some perks. One of those perks is being able to pin up to eight people as your BFFs on Snapchat without having to put in the time and effort. However, keep in mind that you can only have one person as your number one BFF, and the others will be regular BFFs.
Pin Your Important Chats on Snapchat
Pinning and unpinning conversations on Snapchat is super easy. It’s a great way to keep your chats organized, especially if you have tons of chats coming in every day. Plus, if someone is out of sight, they might be out of mind. So, if you’re trying to earn that best friend emoji, keeping their conversations pinned at the top will remind you of who is important.
