Unpin a message

Sendbird Chat SDK for Android allows you to unpin messages in group channels. Unpinning messages that are no longer relevant or important helps to keep the pinned messages organized in your channel.

You can unpin a message using the unpinMessage() method of the GroupChannel class. Specify the messageId of a message to unpin as shown in the code below.

channel.unpinMessage(messageId) { e ->
    if (e != null) {
        // handle error
    }
}

The following table shows a list of properties related to the pinned messages feature. The pinnedMessageIds, and lastPinnedMessage properties belong to the GroupChannel class.

Once a message is unpinned, the onPinnedMessageUpdated(channel: GroupChannel) event handler is invoked. For further information on GroupChannelHandler, see the Add or remove a channel event handler page.
