People use WhatsApp to talk and interact with their friends, relatives, coworkers, and loved ones all around the world. However, there are times when it’s necessary to organize your conversations. You can’t keep some chats but you don’t want to delete them either. What should you do in such situations? Well, you can hide or archive your WhatsApp chats.
In order to manage your chats, WhatsApp offers its users the option to archive individual or group chats from their chats list.
