WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to pin messages with a custom timer. This means that users will be able to pin important messages to the top of their chat list for a specific period of time, after which the message will automatically unpin.
The feature is currently under development and is not yet available to the public. However, WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp beta updates, has shared screenshots of the feature in action.
The screenshots show that users will be able to pin a message by long-pressing it and then tapping on the “Pin” icon. Once a message is pinned, users will see a timer icon next to it. This icon will show how much time is left before the message unpins.
Users will be able to set the timer for any period of time, from 1 minute to 1 year. Once the timer expires, the message will automatically unpin and will no longer be visible at the top of the chat list.
The new pinned messages feature with a custom timer is a useful addition to WhatsApp. It will allow users to keep important messages visible for a specific period of time, without having to manually unpin them. This could be useful for things like reminders, important announcements, or even just funny memes that you want to make sure you don’t forget about.
The feature is still under development, so it is not yet clear when it will be released to the public. However, it is likely that we will see it rolled out in a future update to WhatsApp.
In the meantime, you can keep an eye on WABetaInfo for more information about the new feature.
