Almost every WhatsApp user have been in a situation where he/she have looked to hide some chats but it seems not to be easy.
WhatsApp allows you to hide certain chats but they looked problematic because they would reappear whenever a new message arrived. This would push the hidden messages back at the top, something which most users despised. This is because the purpose of hiding them in the first place has not been fulfilled.
In recent times, things has all changed now. WhatsApp has revealed that it has moved to hide chats in a separate folder, without archived feeds reappearing in the main section upon receiving a new message.
WhatsApp lets you organize your private messages and prioritize important conversations. Your Archived chats will now remain archived and muted but you can always change them back!
“We have heard that users want their archived messages to stay tucked away in the Archived Chats folder, instead of moving back into your main chat list when a new message arrives,” the company tweeted.
“The new Archived Chats settings mean that any message thread that is archived will now stay in the Archived Chats folder, even if a new message is sent to that thread.”
How to keep messages archived on WhatsApp;
1. Open your WhatsApp Application
2. Tap on the ‘More options’ section on the ‘Chats’ tab
3. Select ‘Chats’, then ‘Chats history’, and then ‘Archive all chats’
To send one single chat conversation into the archive section, you should tap and hold on the chat that you want to hide.
You will no longer receive notifications about these conversations “unless they are mentioned or replied to” according to WhatsApp.
You can go back at any time and make changes to the settings for each chat by going back to the “archived chats” section and follow the steps above as you see fit.
