   • Long-press on the pinned chat that you want to unpin.
   • Tap on the "Unpin" icon (usually represented by an inverted pin icon) located in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
   • WhatsApp will display a confirmation message indicating that the chat has been unpinned. Tap on "OK" or "Got it" to confirm.
