WhatsApp allows users to archive individual or group chats that they don’t want on their chat list. Users can select the chat, and click on the Archive option that shows up on the top. The Archived section will store all the hidden chats and can be viewed at any time.
It is also important to note that the archived individual or group chats will remain archived when you get a new message from that individual or group chat. You will not receive notifications for archived chats unless you are mentioned or replied to.
