Hi all. Today I want to show you how to pin a message in a telegram on your computer and phone. To be honest, I can’t even imagine how to work without this cool feature. Let's take a closer look at why this is needed and how to implement it.

Why do you need to pin a message in a telegram?

When you use this function in a chat, group or channel, one additional line appears at the top, clicking on which automatically returns you to the pinned post in the feed. But what is this for?

The fact is that telegram is a messenger. This means that it is almost impossible to convey important information to all members of the community. That’s why it was decided to leave the important one in the most visible place. Typically this is necessary for the following types of posts:

• Important announcements or news
• Price for advertising in the channel
• Rules of use or behavior in the community
• Improvised menu. That is, a separate post is created with hashtags for specific categories, which are then pinned. This is done to ensure that the channel sections never disappear from view.
• Various questionnaires, surveys, etc.

This is not a complete list, but I think you get the gist.

How to pin a post to a channel

To pin any message in a telegram on your computer, you need to enter the chat, group or your channel, and then right-click on the important post. Next, select the item "Pin message" and agree with the question that will be asked in the dialog box.

Now try going lower or going higher, and then click on the pinned post in your feed. You will find yourself on the same entry.

To do the same on your phone, you need to go to any of the dialogs, find an important message and simply tap on it once with your finger (no need to hold down). After this, a context menu will appear in which you will have to select the line “Pin”.

When you pin, all participants in the conversation or subscribers to your channel will receive an additional notification, unless they have them of course.

To unpin any message, just click on the cross that is located opposite it at the top, or attach a new post. Then an automatic replacement will occur, since there cannot be two posts in a fastener.

How to pin a message in a group

Unfortunately, if you try to do the same in a regular group, you will not succeed, since this menu item simply will not be there. But it can be done. To do this, you need to make a supergroup in a telegram from a regular one.

For a computer this is done as follows:

For a phone, everything happens exactly the same, except for a small difference. When you click on the header and enter "Information about the group", click on the three dots in the upper right corner and immediately select "Make it a supergroup". That is, you do not need to go to the additional menu.

Now, you, as an administrator, will be able to attach posts to the top. Other users will not be able to do this unless you make them admins.

As you can see, this is a very useful thing, and if I were you, I would certainly use it. For example, on my channel I constantly organize either voting or keep a price list with advertising prices at the top. Thanks to this, people are more likely to ask to be featured on the channel.

Well, that's all for me. I hope you liked the article. Don't forget to subscribe to my blog and social networks. I'm waiting for you again. Bye bye!

Pin a message in a conversation on VKontakte

Sometimes it is necessary to attach an important message for everyone so that it does not get lost among dozens or hundreds of other, less important posts. There is such an opportunity in a VKontakte conversation. But you can only pin one message per conversation. If you try to attach a new one, it will replace the previous one. After attaching a message, you can unpin it at any time. This is done in the current conversation menu.

Pinning any message in a conversation on VK is quite simple. To do this, select a post and click on the carnation icon in the panel at the top, next to the star-shaped icon “Mark as important.”

You can also attach a message in a conversation and in the mobile version of VKontakte. The pinned message will always be at the top of the page, and the remaining messages will be located below it.

How to add a contact

There are several ways to invite participants to a conversation on social media. networks. You can use the conversation menu.

1. To do this, click on the menu at the top of the page and select the first item “Add a companion”.
2. After opening a window with a list of your friends, you need to select a participant by checking the box next to his name.

To invite your friends to a conversation in another way, there is a special conversation menu item - “Link to conversation”.

Click on it. A small window will open with a link. You need to copy and paste it in messages with your friends. This will take them to the conversation page.

User capabilities in a conversation on VK

Each participant in the conversation can:

• change the name of the conversation, in the menu this is the item “Change conversation name”;
• view all files in the conversation that were previously attached by other participants;
• invite other participants (from your friends list);
• set a conversation avatar, change the image;
• record a message in a conversation;
• turn notifications of new messages on or off for this conversation;

It's easy to delete one of your interlocutors. To do this, you need to open the page of all chat participants. Opposite each there is a cross. This is a button to delete a person you are talking to. But you can only delete those that the user added himself.

If a user leaves a conversation on their own, there is always a way to return to it. Even if you deleted all correspondence. To do this, open the conversation again and select “Return to conversation” from the menu. After this, you are again a full participant in this chat.

Social networks have a feature that helps you easily conduct various types of surveys. This article tells you how to create a vote in a VKontakte conversation, in a group, or just on your page. The algorithm is simple and only takes a few steps. With it, any vote will be placed in the place you need.

Why are such topics created? Some users value their opinion on a certain issue. Others just need attention. And still others want the assessment of the majority.

The social network VKontakte, along with others, are modernizing their services. And you can create a survey in a few clicks. To do this, go to your personal page on VK and place the cursor in the “What’s new with you” line. An entry field will open. Below this line there will be icons with a choice of actions: add video, audio, photo and the “more” tab. We will need exactly the last point. Clicking on it will open a pop-up window and a list of other options:

• Document;
• The note;
• Map;
• Graffiti;
• Product;
• Survey;
• Timer.

If you want to remove any option, click on the cross at the end of the line. Video and audio, as well as photographs and drawings are added to the voting. At the bottom there is an option to check the “Anonymous voting” box - this is necessary so that participating users are not displayed.

Many more people will take the test if their choice remains a secret.

Then click “send”. The created survey will appear on your page.

To ensure that users see it in the first rows, pin the post. When creating a survey in a group, the algorithm remains the same. Follow the above instructions. But in conversations there is no such function.

The VKontakte administration does not consider it necessary to create this functionality. Because everything you need can be found out without a survey. You can also always copy the voting code and add it to your correspondence. Your interlocutors will follow the link and be able to answer your questions.

As the number of participants in a Viber group chat increases, the discussion turns into an endless stream of messages in which it is easy to miss something important. To make life easier for users, the messenger team has added the ability to reply to a specific post, and you can make an announcement for the entire group using pinned messages.

How it works?

To reply to a person’s message in a group chat, just long-press the message and select the “Reply” option from the menu that appears. A message sent in this way will have a context - the name of the author and the text of the original post. This is reminiscent of the quoting function in other instant messengers.

Pinned messages appear at the top of the chat window as a purple banner. They are visible to everyone in the conversation until an administrator changes or deletes it. Users can pin any message by long pressing and selecting the “Pin” option.

Another new Viber feature allows you to send a message to multiple contacts at once, without creating a separate group for this. All you need to do is add the people you need to the mailing list, which will be stored in chats after sending the first message. For all recipients, the message appears as if it was sent to them personally. Do spambots approve?

In today's short episode, I will tell you how to send a post to a VK conversation. What is a conversation? By going to the Messages section, we see conversations between you and other other users. A conversation is the same dialogue. The only difference is that the conversation is created using social network tools. And dialogues are just personal messages. Conversations typically have more participants.
