Archiving a chat will remove it from the list of active conversations in your chat list. This helps you keep your chat list more organised and only show you relevant chats.
How it works:
- You will have two separate chat lists, one for active chats and one for archived chats.
- Chats will remain in your archive until a new notification is received. If you receive a new message your chat will be moved to the active chat list.
- If your chat is archived and muted it will remain archived if new notifications arrive.
- Your archive is synced across all your devices.
- Messages from archived chats will appear in search results.
