This wikiHow teaches you how to pin a message to the top of a Telegram group on an Android phone or tablet.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Telegram. It’s the white paper airplane on a blue background. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
    • The only groups that support message pinning are supergroups. If you have not yet converted your group to a supergroup, do so now.
  2. 2
    Tap the group with the message you want to pin. If it’s been a while since you used this group, you may have to scroll down to find it.

    You might need to update the application. If you've tried that, single tap on any message in the group and you should see the pin option. You must be in a group to pin the message.
