Snapchat has a feature that lets you pin conversations to the top of your Chat list so that you can access them more easily and quickly.
If you have a lot of friends on Snapchat, chances are that your Chat screen is riddled with a bunch of conversations. By pinning your best friend on Snapchat, you can quickly access their conversation screen and chat with them to maintain your streak and improve your snap score.
This feature is available to all users for free and doesn’t require a Snapchat Plus subscription.
