    Tap the channel that contains the pinned message. This opens the channel.
  3. 3
    Tap the channel’s name. It’s at the top of the channel. This opens the "Channel details" menu.
  4. 4
    Tap and hold the pinned item. Pinned items appear under the “Pinned Items” header. You may have to scroll down to find it. A confirmation message will appear.
