When you pin a post, it stays at the top of your profile, page, or group’s timeline until you unpin it. Even if you publish new posts on the page or group, the pinned post will remain at the top of your feed. Pinning a post also ensures it gets more traction – engagement, likes, clicks, or shares. No matter your reason for pinning a particular post, this guide explains how to pin a post on a Facebook profile, page, or group, and give it the extra attention it needs.

How to Pin a Post on a Facebook Group
If you manage a Facebook group, you can pin a post to the top of the group page. However, in a group, it’s referred to as an Announcement – not a pinned post. You’ll get different options in the group post menu, but the post will still appear at the top of your group under the Announcements section. Note: You can pin up to 50 announcements at a time on a Facebook Group, but it’s recommended that you have one or two to avoid confusion. Plus, you have to be a group admin to pin a post on a Facebook Group.
