When this option is on, any conversation that you archive will be saved forever in the archived chats section. No special message or notification will get you out of there, so it will be easier to ignore it completely.
This falls bare for those group chats that you do not want (or should not) abandon, such as workgroups, the meeting of friends from school, etc. Perhaps a downside is that archived chats can now be accessed from the first line of the conversation list, just above the first contact, but it is still discreet.
The function can also be activated from the files section itself. When you’re there, click on the three-dot icon in the upper right and click on archiving settings. After this, you will be able to activate the box to keep archived chats that we described above.
This function was planned since at least 2018 when WhatsApp itself announced it (with the name vacation mode ). A few months after that, it was reported that the name would be changed to something more descriptive like ignoring chats. Some years later, we finally have this option enabled and it is already one of the user’s favorites.
