WhatsApp’s New Hidden Trick in 2025: “Message Pin Scheduler”
One of the most interesting new hidden tricks in WhatsApp (as of the 2025 update) is the “Message Pin Scheduler” — a feature that allows you to pin any message at a specific time and date, rather than keeping it pinned forever.
This is a game-changing productivity tool for professionals, students, and anyone who uses WhatsApp for planning, organizing, or reminders.
What is Message Pin Scheduler?
Normally, you can pin chats to the top of your WhatsApp chat list, but with the new Message Pin Scheduler, you can now:
- Pin specific messages, not just entire chats
- Set a time and date when the message should appear on top
- Unpin it automatically after a certain period
- Ideal for reminders, announcements, task follow-ups, and more
Think of it as a built-in digital sticky note inside your WhatsApp chat — and it works seamlessly!
How to Use WhatsApp’s Message Pin Scheduler (Step-by-Step)
This hidden trick isn’t obvious at first. Here’s how to use it:
