Message Pinning

Managing hundreds or even thousands of direct messages on Fansly can be overwhelming. Important conversations get buried, special requests are forgotten, and critical information disappears in the endless stream of messages. That’s why we created the Message Pinning feature - a powerful tool that lets you pin important messages directly to your message sidebar for instant access.

What is Message Pinning?

Message Pinning is a Pro-exclusive feature that allows you to pin any text message from your conversations to a dedicated section in your message sidebar. Think of it as your personal notepad that follows you through every conversation, keeping critical information at your fingertips.

Whether it’s a fan’s specific preferences, important dates, custom requests, or your own notes about the conversation, pinned messages ensure you never lose track of what matters most.

Key Features

One-Click Pinning

Every text message in your DMs now has a thumbtack icon that appears when you hover over it. A single click pins the message to your sidebar, with instant visual confirmation.

The pinned messages section includes a search bar that lets you quickly find specific messages by content. Perfect when you have dozens of pinned messages and need to find something specific.

Sender Identification

Each pinned message clearly shows who sent it - either you or the fan - making it easy to distinguish between your notes and fan messages.

Easy Management

Remove pinned messages with a single click on the trash icon. The system prevents duplicate pins, so you can’t accidentally pin the same message twice.

Responsive Design

The sidebar adapts to your screen size. On desktop (screens wider than 1200px), it appears as a dedicated panel next to your conversation. On mobile and tablet devices, it’s accessible through a toggle button in the message header.

Persistent Storage

Pinned messages are stored securely and persist across browser sessions. They’re tied to specific fans, so each conversation has its own set of pinned messages.

How It Works

The Message Pinning system operates seamlessly within your existing Fansly workflow:

  1. Pin Detection: When you’re in a DM conversation, the extension automatically adds a pin button to every text message
  2. One-Click Action: Click the thumbtack icon on any message to pin it
  3. Instant Storage: The message is immediately saved and appears in your sidebar
  4. Real-Time Updates: The sidebar refreshes automatically when you pin or unpin messages

Feature Details

  • Text Messages Only: Currently, only text-based messages can be pinned (no media messages)
  • Pro Subscription Required: This feature is exclusive to FBuddy Pro subscribers
  • Secure Storage: Messages are stored securely with proper encryption
  • No Message Limit: Pin as many messages as you need per conversation

Use Cases

1. Custom Content Preferences

Pin messages where fans describe their specific interests, fetishes, or content preferences. Never forget what type of content each fan enjoys.

2. Important Dates and Events

Pin messages mentioning birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions. Perfect for sending personalized messages on important dates.

3. Pricing Agreements

Keep track of custom pricing discussions, special deals, or negotiated rates by pinning the relevant messages.

4. Content Requests

Pin specific custom content requests so you can easily reference them when creating or delivering content.

5. Personal Notes

Pin your own messages as notes about the fan - their time zone, communication preferences, or anything else worth remembering.

6. Payment Information

Pin messages related to tips, purchases, or payment confirmations for easy reference during future conversations.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  2. FBuddy Extension: Make sure you have the latest version of the FBuddy browser extension installed
  3. Message Sidebar Enabled: Enable “Show Message Sidebar” in your Tweaks settings

Step-by-Step Guide

  6. Unpin When Done: Click the trash icon next to any pinned message to remove it

Tips for Effective Use

  • Pin Sparingly: Focus on truly important information to avoid clutter

  • Regular Cleanup: Periodically review and unpin outdated messages
  • Combine with Notes: Pin your own messages as reminders or notes about the conversation

Limitations and Considerations

While Message Pinning is a powerful tool, there are some current limitations to be aware of:

  • Text Only: Media messages (photos, videos, audio) cannot be pinned
  • Pro Exclusive: Requires an active FBuddy Pro subscription
  • Per-Fan Storage: Pinned messages are specific to each fan and cannot be shared across conversations
  • Manual Process: Messages must be pinned individually - there’s no bulk pinning option

Privacy and Security

Your pinned messages are:

  • Stored securely on FBuddy servers with encryption
  • Associated only with your account
  • Never shared with third parties
  • Deleted when you unpin them or delete your FBuddy account
