Although engaging in group chats and other chats is possible for all users, only iOS users can pin people - sorry, Android users!
It is uncertain whether the pin feature will get to Android devices, for now, you can only unpin people if you have an iOS device.
If you want to get rid of pinned conversations on Snapchat, follow these steps.
Step 1: Open Snapchat and Look for the Chat Screen
Launch Snapchat on your phone, and on the main camera screen, look for the chat icon. Tap on it, and continue.
Step 2: Long-Press the Pin Conversation and Select “Chat Settings”
The chat home screen will show you all the conversations you have there. Here, locate the pinned chat, and long-press it.
It will have a little emoji displayed alongside it. Finally, tap “settings” and move on to the final step.
Step 3: Tap “Unpin Conversation”
Here, select “Unpin Conversation” and there you go - say goodbye to pinned people!
Remember that unpinning someone on Snapchat means that they will no longer appear at the top of the chat.
