WhatsApp tips and tricks: WhatsApp, the messaging application is used by people all over the world to chat and communicate with their friends, families, colleagues, and loved ones. But there are instances when you need to organise your conversations. There are certain chats which you cannot keep but don't want to delete. What can you do in such situations? You can hide or archive your WhatsApp chat if you want to. WhatsApp offers its users an archive chat feature which allows users to hide an individual or group chat from their chats list to better organize conversations.

It can be noted that archiving a chat does not delete the chat or back it up to your SD card or iCloud. Archived individual or group chats will stay archived when you receive a new message from that individual or group chat.
