WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world, with over a billion users. But it can be hard to keep track of all your conversations, especially if you’re talking to multiple people at once. That’s where archiving chats comes in.
Archiving a chat on WhatsApp means that it will no longer appear in your main chat view. The archived chat will still be accessible, but it will be moved to the “Archived Chats” section of WhatsApp. This is an excellent way to declutter your main view and keep important conversations from getting lost in the shuffle.
But what if you want to archive a conversation without letting the other person know? Can someone see if you archived their WhatsApp chat?
The short answer is no: archiving a chat on WhatsApp does not notify the other person that you’ve done so. However, if you delete a conversation or mute notifications for a conversation, those actions will trigger notifications and let the other person know what you’ve done.
If you’re trying to hide a conversation from someone else, archiving is an excellent way to do so without notifying them. Archiving removes the chat from your main view, but it doesn’t delete any messages or send notifications to anyone else involved in the conversation.
However, there are some caveats: while archiving hides conversations from view, it doesn’t actually delete them or erase any messages sent back and forth between participants. So while they won’t be able to see that you’ve archived their chat (unless they manually search for it), they’ll still have access to all of their messages with you if they look for them.
On top of that, archiving only works for chats between two people; group chats cannot be archived and must instead be deleted or muted in order to hide them from view.
In conclusion, no one can see if you archive their WhatsApp chat unless they manually search for it; however, archived chats are not deleted and all messages sent within them remain accessible until deleted by either party. It’s also important to note that group chats cannot be archived and must instead be deleted or muted in order to hide them from view.
