How Archiving Works
Archiving a chat helps you keep your chat list clean and organized without deleting your conversation history. It removes the chat from the chat list and will be listed separately under Archived.
Note:
- By default, a chat will reappear in your main chat list when you receive a new message.
- Muted chats will remain archived even when a new message is received.
- To keep the chat archived even after receiving a new message, you must mute the chat.
