Google+ Now Lets You Pin Posts To Top Of Pages & Profiles

Facebook Pages have had the feature since 2012. Twitter added it last April. Now Google+ has caught up to its social media rivals by giving users the ability to pin posts to the top of their pages and profiles.

Rolled out earlier this week, the feature is accessible on the desktop version of Google+; just click on the dropdown menu in the upper-right hand corner of any of your public posts and select “Pin post.” Pinned posts are visible to desktop and Android users. Google said iOS support is coming soon.

“People often have posts that they want to make sure get seen when someone visits their profile,” Googler Dennis Troper wrote in a Google+ post, “like a great nature shot from a recent family trip. Businesses also have content they want to highlight such as photos of a new product or a trailer for an upcoming movie.”

Here’s an example from the Brooklyn Nets’ page:
