How do you pin someone on Snapchat?

To pin someone on Snapchat, one must simply hold down on a username and click More – Pin Conversation.

The pinned person or conversation will appear at the top of one’s chat history unless unpinned.

Only a total number of three conversations or users can be pinned to Snapchat at once.

To unpin a user, press down on their username once more and click More – Unpin Conversation.

Users are also able to customize their Snapchat pin icon by adding an emoji.

To do this, one should scroll to their Snapchat settings and hit Manage.

They can then click on Friend Emojis, placing an emoji of their choice next to one of their pinned conversations.
