New WhatsApp Features Hide Chat Forever, Here's How To Use It

 


WhatsApp released a new Archive chat feature for users. This function allows users to hide less important messages without having to be disturbed again afterwards.
In a blog post, WhatsApp says this latest update aims to give users more control over the chats in their inbox and focus on the more important chats.



“We know that not everything should be on the front lines for you,” WhatsApp said in an official statement as quoted from Livemint on Wednesday (28/7/2021).





"We want to make sure that WhatsApp remains a private and secure place where you can talk to the people who matter most to you and a place where you can control your messages."













Before the Archived chat feature launches, archived chats will return to the main inbox if there are new messages entering the chat. WhatsApp users have long requested that archived chats remain hidden.



With this new feature, archived chats will remain in the Archived folder even if they receive new messages. This feature will permanently hide archived chats, unless the user manually re -enters them into the main inbox.



Whatsapp users will not receive a notification if a message enters an archived chat, unless it is mentioned or their message is answered in a group.



WhatsApp also gives users the option to use the previous archive feature. You do this by disabling the 'Keep chats archived' option in the Chat settings in the app.



Here's how to hide messages in the WhatsApp archive forever:



- Open the WhatsApp app on your phone, then tap and hold the chat you want to archive



- Tap the Archive icon that shows the box with the arrow in the upper right of the app



- Chats will be saved directly in the Archived folder permanently and will not display a notification if there are incoming messages. To access archived chats, open the Archived folder at the top of the WhatsApp app



- If you want to remove a chat from the Archived folder and return it to your main inbox, open the Archived folder, tap the chat you want to restore, and tap the Archive icon in the upper right corner.



- If you want the archived messages to return to the main inbox after receiving the message, open the settings menu in the WhatsApp app, select the Chat option, and turn off the 'Keep archived chats' toggle.
