Group admins can choose to allow members to pin messages in a group chat.

iPhone: Open the group chat and tap Group info > Group Settings > Edit Group Settings > select All members or Only Admins.
When you pin a message in a group chat, a system message is shared with everyone in the chat indicating that a message was pinned and who pinned it. Users can’t see a pinned message if they join a group after a pinned message is sent, if they lost or cleared their chat history, or if they deleted the message before it was pinned.
Web and Desktop: Open the group chat and click Group info > Group settings > Edit group info > select All members or Only admins.
