A pinned post on Facebook refers to a post that stays at the top of the feed on a profile, page, or group timeline. Commonly used to highlight announcements, promos, or other important posts, pinning posts has become common practice for boosting visibility on new post content, group rules, and other content in a featured section.
Pinned posts will remain pinned indefinitely.
How To Pin A Post
To pin a specific post, navigate to the post you wish to pin via the Facebook app or desktop site. This can be in Facebook groups, pages, or on your profile.
NOTE: If you wish to pin a post on a group or page, you must have admin access. Group members without admin access do not have the ability to pin a post.
Click or tap the three dots on the upper right corner of the post.
Select Pin Post.
Your post will now appear at the top of the Facebook timeline regardless of who is viewing it or whether they're using a mobile device or desktop browser.
To unpin a post, click the three dots on the top right corner and select Unpin.
