Step 1: Open WhatsApp
The first step is to open the WhatsApp app on your iPhone. Once you’re in the app, you’ll see a list of all your chats. This includes both individual chats and group chats.
Step 2: Scroll down
If you’ve already archived a chat, you won’t be able to see it in the main chat list. You’ll need to scroll down to the very bottom of the chat list, and then tap on the ‘Archived Chats’ option. This will take you to a separate screen where all your archived chats are stored.
Step 3: Select a chat
Once you’re on the ‘Archived Chats’ screen, you’ll see a list of all your archived chats. You can scroll through this list to find the chat you want to view. Once you’ve found it, simply tap on it to open it up.
Step 4: Unarchive the chat
If you want to unarchive the chat and move it back to the main chat list, simply swipe left on the chat and tap on the ‘Unarchive’ option. This will move the chat back to the main list, where you can access it more easily.
Step 5: Delete a chat
If you want to delete an archived chat entirely, you can do so by swiping left on the chat and tapping on the ‘Delete’ option. This will permanently delete the chat and all associated messages, so make sure you want to do this before taking the plunge.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that you can also archive and unarchive individual messages within a chat. This can be useful if there are specific messages you want to keep hidden away, but still want to be able to access them later.
To archive an individual message, simply swipe left on it and tap on the ‘Archive’ option. To unarchive a message, you’ll need to open the chat and find the message you want to unarchive. Once you’ve found it, swipe left on it and tap on the ‘Unarchive’ option.
In conclusion, viewing archived chats on WhatsApp for iPhone is a simple process. Just remember to scroll down to the bottom of your chat list to find the ‘Archived Chats’ option. From there, you can select the chat you want to view, unarchive it or even delete it entirely. And if you want to archive individual messages, that’s easy too. Just swipe left on the message and tap on the ‘Archive’ option.
