How to hide a particular WhatsApp chat and not delete it. [br][br]WhatsApp gives you an option to hide your chat without deleting it. This means you can keep your personal chats safe and read whenever you feel like.[br][br][br]
[br][br][br]*HIGHLIGHTS*[br]WhatsApp Archive chats allows you to hide a conversation from your Chats screen.[br][br]You can access archived chats later, if needed.[br]Using Archive Chat does not delete the chat or back it up to your SD card.[br][br]WhatsApp chats are end-to-end encrypted. [br]This means that your chats can be read only by you and the person you are chatting with, and nobody in between can read them.[br]But if you have an intruding roommate or live in a house full of relatives, chances are this encryption won't be of much use to you because your phone can be physically accessed by them.[br][br]I have met people who borrow your phone saying they need to make a call or simply drop a text to someone but they secretly scroll through your phone's photo gallery and WhatsApp chats also.[br]In that case it becomes a little difficult to hide your personal and private chats that contain words or graphics which you may not be comfortable showing around in your house.[br][br]Of course, phone lock is the best way to keep your chats protected. There are also app locks that can lock the apps you want. But if you are too lazy to go through the process of setting up a phone lock system or app locker for just one WhatsApp chat, here's something for you.[br][br]WhatsApp gives you an option to hide your chat without deleting it. This means you can keep your personal chats safe and read whenever you feel like. No need to delete it. Also, you can do this with both group chats and private chats.[br][br]The feature is called Archive chats. WhatsApp Archive chats allows you to hide a conversation from your Chats screen and access it later, if needed. You can archive both groups or individual chats.[br][br] Using Archive Chat does not delete the chat or back it up to your SD card. The archived chats will be got to a separate folder within WhatsApp which appears at the bottom of the window.[br][br]Note that archived chats will reappear when you receive a new message from that conversation.[br][br]To archive a chat, follow these steps:[br]-- In the Chats screen, tap and hold the chat you wish to hide.[br]-- On the top bar, select the Archive icon.[br][br]Your chat is now archived and will not show up on your Chats screen.[br][br]To unarchive a chat:[br]-- Scroll to the bottom of the Chats screen.[br]-- Tap Archived chats.[br]-- Tap and hold the chat that you wish to unarchive.[br]-- On the top bar, select the Unarchive icon.[br][br]To archive all chats:[br]-- Go to Settings.[br]-- Tap Chats ] Chat history ] Archive all chats.[br][br]Thanks for Reading Through...[br][br]Kindly follow me from the top. [br][br]The Future is Now![br] |
