However, it is worth remembering that the feature is currently only available for the beta version, that is, testing. Furthermore, the tool is only available for experiments in Android. There is still no information about new tests focusing on the iOS operating system.
How sticky messages work in Beta
Now, with this new feature, when a message is pinned, it becomes visible to all users in the conversation. In this way, it is much easier to find important information within the flow of posts.
In practice, the novelty facilitates communication in groups with a greater flow of messages. That’s because when a message is important, pinning it allows more group members to see it prominently. That is, it will not be necessary to scroll the message bar and read all available messages to find relevant information for all users.
Implementation of the novelty
As previously mentioned, the feature is in the testing phase, through Beta WhatsApp. Therefore, the messaging application has not yet confirmed when the functionality will be available to all users.
Before that, it is necessary to carry out all the necessary adjustments to the Beta version. Only then is it possible to offer full functionality to the tool and satisfaction of its users.
