There are many other options for online messaging services such as Telegram and Signal. However, WhatsApp has many unique but privacy-oriented features that make it widely used.
Therefore, it is unbelievable that Facebook-owned apps claim to have more than 2 billion users worldwide.
Archive your chats
Archived chat allows users to hide their conversation from the chat screen, and can also be found in a separate corner of the app.
This will not delete the chat-it allows you to delete it from the main chat screen without losing it, helping you organize your conversations.
You can archive group or individual chats and they will disappear until you pull down from the top of the chat display and click the Archive Chat tab. You can also archive all chat history.
- iOS: Chats > Specific chat > Swipe right to left > Archive / Settings > Chats > Archive All Chats.
- Android: Chats > Long press on chat > Press the archive folder at the top right of the screen.
