Feature

Hello SimpleX team,

First of all, thank you for building such a secure and privacy-focused messenger.

I’d like to request a feature that would be very useful in groups: the ability for admins (or optionally members) to pin messages so that important announcements, links, or rules can stay visible at the top of the group chat.

This feature is especially helpful in larger communities to avoid repeating the same important messages.

Would you consider adding this to the roadmap?

Thank you for your great work!

Research direction

Start by locating the Android group-chat message UI and the code governing group admin and member permissions. The issue needs an agreed scope for who may pin messages, how pinned messages appear, and how they are managed before implementation and tests can define done.
