Snapchat lets you pin the chat of your favorite person to get easy access and never miss a message. An alternate situation may arise when you have to unpin a Snapchat conversation, and you may get confused about how to do it. But that’s not a problem at all. Unpinning someone is as easy as pinning. Here are the steps to unpin a chat on Snapchat.
How to Unpin Someone on Snapchat?
To unpin someone on Snapchat, hold their chat, go to settings, and tap unpin conversation. Once you have unpinned a chat, it will no longer show at the top of your chat list.
Unpinning someone on Snapchat is one of the easiest things to do. Here’s how to unpin a chat on Snapchat:
- Launch the Snapchat app.

This will unpin that person from your chat box. You will no longer be able to see it at the top of the screen. However, it would be visible with other chats on your screen.
Does Unpinning Remove Your Friend on Snapchat?
No, unpinning someone does not remove them as your friend on Snapchat. You remain friends with them and can interact with them as usual. It will only remove their chat from the top position and display it like other normal chats.
Snapchat only allows you to pin three chats at a time. It means you can only prioritize three persons at once. You might need to change one of the three chats you have pinned. Remember, unpinning someone on Snapchat doesn’t mean removing them as your friend. It just helps you set your priorities better.
