How to Pin someone on Snapchat

Pinning Snapchat conversations is only available for iOS users – the Snapchat app for Android devices lacks the Pin Conversation feature. That means you can only pin people on Snapchat if you have an iPhone.

Snapchat may roll out the feature to Android users at some point in the future. But for now, Snapchat conversation pinning is limited to iPhone users. If you have an iPhone, follow the steps below to pin conversations to your Snapchat chat feed.

1. Open Snapchat and swipe right on the camera screen to open the chat or friends screen.
2. Select the conversation or group chat you want to pin.
3. Tap yours friend’s name or profile pic to open their profile.
4. Tap the menu icon in the upper-right corner of the profile page and tap chat settings.
5. Choose pin talk in the pop-up menu.

You can also access a conversation’s settings and pin a conversation directly from the chat screen. Tap and hold the chat you want to pin and select it chat settingsand choose pin talk.

Return to the chat screen and you’ll find the person or conversation pinned to the top of your feed. You should also see a thumbtack or pin icon next to the conversation.

Pinning conversations on Snapchat is a private action. Snapchat doesn’t send notifications to people or groups you’ve pinned in the app.

Customize snapchat pin icon

Snapchat lets you customize the icon or identifier for pinned conversations. If you don’t like the default thumbtack/pin icon, you can always switch to a different emoji.

1. Open your Snapchat profile and tap gear icon in the upper right corner.
2. Scroll to the Additional Services section and tap Administer.

3. Choose friend emojis.
4. Beat Pinned conversation.
5. Go through the list and choose your favorite emoji.

The newly selected emoji will appear next to any pinned conversations in the chat feed.

You can change emojis for pinned conversations as many times as you want. However, you can’t use different emoji for each pinned conversation. All pinned conversations have the same emoji or identifier.

How many people can you pin on Snapchat?

Currently, Snapchat users can only pin three people or conversations to the top of the chat feed. If you hit the limit and try to pin a (fourth) conversation, Snapchat will display the error message “Can’t Pin Conversation”. Unpin one of your pinned chats and try pinning the person again.

How to Unsnap Someone on Snapchat

It’s easy to resolve a conversation at the top of the chat feed. Tap and hold the pinned conversation and select it chat settingsand tap resolve conversation.

Snapchat detaches the person and moves your conversation with them down the chat list.

Use the pin

Pinning conversations is a common feature in many social media and instant messaging apps. WhatsApp, iMessage, Twitter, Telegram, and iMessage allow users to pin up to three, nine, six, and five chats, respectively. However, only Snapchat supports thumbtack icon customization.

If you’re having trouble pinning Snapchat conversations, close and reopen the app and try again. Updating Snapchat on the App Store can also fix bugs affecting the Pin feature.
