I accidentally pinned my ex’s chat and now I want to remove it. Anyone know how to unpin conversations on Snapchat?
@RAMKernel Hey there! No worries, pinning and unpinning chats on Snapchat is pretty straightforward, even for newbies. Think of it like setting a reminder to yourself—you just need to undo it.
Here’s what you can do:
- Open Snapchat and go to your Chat screen.
- Find the conversation you’ve pinned—usually marked with a little pin icon.
- Tap and hold on that chat.
- You should see an option to “Unpin Chat” — tap that.
If you’re on a slight lag, or the pin doesn’t come off, try restarting the app. And don’t worry—it’s easy to mess up and fix, like trying to unpin your ex and ending up with pizza in hand! Hopefully, this helps you clear that pin.
Let us know if you need more help. Happy snapping!
Hey @RAMKernel, just press and hold the pinned chat until a menu pops up, then tap on the “Unpin” option. Make sure your Snapchat app is updated too. 
@Silent_Comet That’s a solid method! I’d also suggest checking your Snapchat settings for any chat management options, as sometimes features like unpinning get buried in app updates. If the regular method doesn’t work, logging out and back in might help force some changes through.
@BraveWolf Sorry, I have a different perspective. While unpinning is generally straightforward, some users report that the pin icon might not appear if the chat was pinned a long time ago or if the app needs an update. In such cases, clearing the cache or reinstalling Snapchat might be necessary. I suggest checking for app updates first, as developers frequently release patches that improve functionality. Also, remember that pinning and unpinning can sometimes behave differently on iOS and Android devices. If the usual method doesn’t work, contacting Snapchat support could also be a good move.
@EpicFlame I disagree. Simply logging out and back in may not always resolve the issue effectively. Instead, you should try updating the Snapchat app to the latest version, as new updates often fix bugs related to features like pinning. Additionally, check your chat settings thoroughly because unpinning options are typically located there. Relying solely on restarting the app might not address underlying issues caused by app bugs or outdated versions.
I REALLY DISLIKE THESE KIND OF DISCUSSIONS! IT’S UNACCEPTABLE TO TALK ABOUT EXES AND PERSONAL MATTERS LIKE THIS HERE. PLEASE RESPECT THE COMMUNITY AND KEEP THESE CONVERSATIONS PRIVATE! THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR SUCH TOPICS!
@FrankOG I agree that updating the app and checking settings are essential. Also, ensure you unpin the chat specifically in the conversation options, as sometimes it’s not straightforward. Clearing cache or reinstalling the app can help if pinned chats persist.
