Pinning a Snapchat conversation is a great way to have easy access to it — but what should you do if you want to unpin someone on Snapchat? Snapchat is loaded with seemingly endless features. Whether you want to play with fun AR filters/effects, see where your friends are on a virtual map, or watch TikTok-like videos, Snapchat lets you do it all. Additionally, Snapchat's turned into a go-to messaging app for countless users. And it's easy to see why. Not only are Snapchat messages a swipe away from the home screen, but you can have group chats, start video calls, easily send high-quality photos, make free phone calls, etc.
One of Snapchat's messaging features includes the ability to pin conversations. Pinning someone on Snapchat is extremely easy. Simply open the Snapchat app, go to the Chat screen, press and hold on a conversation, tap 'Chat Settings,' and tap 'Pin Conversation.' This displays a pin icon next to the conversation and permanently keeps it above all of your other chats — ensuring it's always within reach. That's all fine and dandy, but what happens when you want to unpin someone on Snapchat? Pinning someone is easy enough, but is it just as simple to unpin someone?
Unpinning Someone On Snapchat In Easy
In short, yes. Unpinning someone on Snapchat follows the same steps that you use to pin a conversation. From the 'Chat' screen on Snapchat, press and hold on a pinned conversation. Tap 'Chat Settings,' tap 'Unpin Conversation,' and the conversation is instantly unpinned from the app. It's still displayed alongside all of your other chats; it's just no longer pinned to the top of your screen. Furthermore, the person on the other end of that conversation doesn't know when you've pinned/unpinned them from your Snapchat app.
Why is it important to know how to unpin someone from Snapchat? There are numerous reasons why unpinning may be needed. Maybe you pinned a conversation with a partner but have broken up with them. Perhaps you pinned a conversation with a friend that you don't talk with that much anymore. Whatever the case is, knowing how to unpin someone on Snapchat is just as important as pinning them. And since you don't have to worry about the other person knowing about you unpinning them, feel free to do so whenever you feel necessary.
Even without pinned conversations, it’s easy for Snapchat users to instantly find chats with their closest friends thanks to the app’s Friend Emojis. These emoji labels are automatically added to conversations that meet certain criteria, making them easily recognizable — and serving as a means to keep users engaged. Different colored hearts will appear next to those designated Super BFF, BFF, and Besties, for example, and the flame emoji alongside a number will mark those with whom the user has maintained a Snapstreak. These icons make certain conversations stand out among the rest, with no added work for the user.
