If you try to pin more than 3 chats in WhatsApp you will receive the error message “You can only pin up to 3 chats”. I managed to find a way to bypass this limitation and pin more chats. I do find it strange that WhatsApp only allows you to pin 3 chats, which is very limited. I now pin 5 important chats that I regularly message in. 1 of the chats is for work whilst the other is with family. If you want to pin over 3 chats on WhatsApp follow these 5 steps. You need to follow these steps one by one and for the last few steps you need to do it very quickly – within (2-3 seconds).
