First, you need to understand what an archived chat is. When you archive a chat, it is moved out of your chat list and into a separate section called Archived Chats. This means that the chat is no longer visible in your chat list, but it is not deleted either. You can still access the chat whenever you want, and all the messages and media files are still there.
To archive a chat on WhatsApp, follow these steps:
1. Open WhatsApp and go to your chat list.
2. Tap and hold on the chat that you want to archive.
3. When the menu appears, select Archive Chat.
Once you have archived a chat, it will disappear from your chat list and be moved to the Archived Chats section. To access your archived chats, follow these steps:
1. Open WhatsApp and go to your chat list.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and you will see the Archived Chats section.
3. Tap on any chat that you want to view, and it will open.
You can also access your archived chats by using the search feature. Simply type in the name or keyword of the chat that you are looking for, and it will appear in the search results. If the chat you’re looking for is archived, it will be marked with a small archive icon.
One thing to keep in mind is that if a chat has new messages, it will automatically be unarchived and moved back to your chat list. This means that if you want to keep a chat archived, you should avoid opening it or sending new messages to it. If you do need to send a message to an archived chat, simply open it and type your message. Once you’ve sent the message, it will be moved back to the Archived Chats section.
In conclusion, viewing archived chats on WhatsApp is a simple process that can help you keep your chat list clean and organized. By archiving old conversations, you can still access them whenever you want without cluttering up your chat list. If you need to find an archived chat, simply scroll down to the bottom of your chat list or use the search feature. Happy messaging!
