For some good news, users can now “pin” the message to the top of the feed in Snapchat. You can easily do this by going to the chat settings and looking for the “Pin a Conversation” option.

Pinning conversations to the top of the list had previously only been available to iPhone users. However, in August 2022, some users reported that it was also available on Android for those with a Snapchat Plus subscription.

  3. To unpin someone, press and hold their conversation.
