In that case, you can use the Pinned Conversation feature in Snapchat to pin important chats at the top. While this may seem like a simple thing, it makes navigating the app fast and convenient. So, keep reading to learn how to pin people on Snapchat.
Things to Remember

Pin Conversations on Snapchat
By pining someone’s conversation in Snapchat on Android and iOS, you can ensure that you never miss a message or snap from them. So, here’s how you can pin people on Snapchat:
- Open the Snapchat app and swipe Right or tap the Chat icon at the bottom.
- Here, press and hold the conversation you want to pin at the top.
- Now, tap the Chat Settings option in the pop-up menu that appears.
- On the next screen, select the Pin Conversation option.
- Now, you will see the conversation pinned on your chat screen with the pin emoji next to the user’s name.
Unpin People on Snapchat
While you only pin a conversation with someone if they hold more value than others in your life, there may come a time when you won’t deem conversations with them the most important. Regardless of the reason, you can easily unpin people from the Snapchat chat screen, and that user won’t even be notified. Here’s how it works:
- Open the Snapchat app and swipe Right or tap the Chat icon at the bottom.
- Here, press and hold the conversation you want to unpin from your chat screen.
- Now, tap the Chat Settings option in the pop-up menu.
- On the next screen, tap the Unpin Conversation option.
- You will then see that the conversation is removed from the top of your chat screen.
Customize Red Pin Icon on Snapchat
By default, Snapchat uses the red color pin emoji when you pin people on Snapchat, but similar to the red heart on Snapchat, the app does allow you to change the pin emoji and use any other available friend emojis. Follow the steps detailed below to customize the pinned conversation emoji on Snapchat:
- Open the Snapchat app and tap the Bitmoji (or profile) icon at the top left.
- Here, tap the Settings icon available at the top right.
- Then, scroll down and tap the Friend Emojis option on your iPhone or the Customize Emojis option if you use an Android phone.
- Next, tap the Pinned Conversation option at the bottom of the menu.
- Now you can choose the emoji you want to replace the pin emoji with.
