WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that make archived chats disappear

WhatsApp has added a new feature that will allow users to ignore notifications from archived chats.

Currently, if you archive a chat on WhatsApp, once you receive a new message that chat is automatically unarchived from the app.

The new feature of WhatsApp will provide the ability to ignore the archived conversations that return, as even with a new message they will remain in the archived chats.

WhatsApp has enabled the feature for selected beta users by default, but you can enable/disable it yourself by following the steps below:

• Open WhatsApp and navigate to Settings > Chats
• Under ‘’Archived chats’’ option, enable the “Keep chats archived” option

WhatsApp also added the ability to mute notifications to make it easier for users to avoid the number of notifications. Moreover, the company added a new feature of disappearing messages, in which the messages will be permanently deleted after a predetermined period of time.
