WhatsApp Now Lets You Pin Your Favourite Chats on Top

HIGHLIGHTS The feature is still being tested in the Android beta The latest WhatsApp beta lets you pin chats on top A maximum of three chats can be pinned WhatsApp has  reportedly  been testing many new features recently to make chats more fun and convenient, and another such feature has come to light. The new  WhatsApp  feature allows users to pin conversations with their favourite contacts to the top to the Chats tab. The new feature is being tested on Android for now, but is expected to roll out to stable versions of the app soon. Android Police was the first one to  spot  the new WhatsApp pinning feature, and if you're running WhatsApp beta for Android versions 2.17.162 or 2.17.163, you'll most likely be able to use it.

The function shows up when you tap the emoji button in WhatsApp's text box. There's a new bottom bar that lets you switch between emoji to GIF. You can then scroll through popular GIFs and insert them right away or search Giphy for a keyword to find the appropriate animation for your current state.   Regardless of how late this feature has been implemented, it is positively awesome. Case in point:   Another change showing in the WhatsApp app is t
