The popular messaging app WhatsApp is constantly rolling out new features for the users. WhatsApp has recently expanded their chat archive feature to groups, previously limited to private chats. This means that from now on, both personal and group chats can be hidden at your own convenience or saved from annoyance.
WhatsApp chat archive feature key
Simply put, the purpose of a WhatsApp archive chat is to hide a chat. Remember that archiving a chat does not mean that it will be deleted. Instead, if a chat is archived and there is a new message, it will be saved in the archive section of WhatsApp. However, due to the new feature, no notification will be received when a message arrives (even if the chat was archived earlier, notification would be available when a new message arrives).
If you want to retrieve a private and group chat hidden (archive), follow the steps below:
1. After opening WhatsApp, scroll to the bottom of the chat section.
2. There you will see the ‘Archive’ option, tap on it.
3. Now select the group or private chats you want to unarchive.
4. Now you choose the un-archive option (like the box) at the top of the screen.
In addition, when a new message arrives from an archived chat, it may automatically be un-archived. For this-
Select the 'Settings' option by clicking on 'More Options' in the 'Chat' tab on WhatsApp. Then turn off the 'Keep Chats Archive' option by clicking on 'Chat Options'. This will allow you to know when new messages are coming from archived chats.
