However, it is uncertain if the feature will be available for WhatsApp Channels.

Users can choose to pin a message for 24 hours, 7 days (default), or 30 days, after which it must be re-pinned or accessed through the contact information menu.

WhatsApp has introduced new chat filters to make managing messages easier. Users can now access three types of filters - All, Unread, and Groups - to view specific messages. The "All" filter shows the unfiltered inbox, while the "Unread" filter helps users keep track of messages they haven't read. The "Groups" filter allows users to quickly scroll through all group chats, including subgroups within Communities. This feature is reminiscent of Gmail's filter bubbles, which were introduced last year. In addition to these filters, WhatsApp is reportedly working on more options such as "Contacts" and "Favorites" filters. The update will be rolled out gradually to all users over the coming weeks.
