Pinned messages showcase numerous attributes. You can select the time duration for pinned messages based on the requirement. It may be 24 hours, 7 days, or a month. However, the duration depends upon the requirements and your preferences. For example, you can select the one-month duration for important messages to make them visible for a longer duration. Nevertheless, you have to update it after 30 days as there is still no feature that can pin it for years. Star messages are the best possible substitute for pinned messages. They will appear in the chat history and you can easily access them as well.
