How to close a WhatsApp chat on the computer - in detail?
To close a WhatsApp chat on your computer, you can follow these detailed steps:
-
Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop App:
-
Locate the Chat:
- In the left sidebar, find the chat you want to close. You can use the search bar at the top to quickly locate a specific contact or group.
-
Close the Chat:
- Click on the three vertical dots (⋮) next to the chat's name in the sidebar. This will open a menu with several options.
- From this menu, select "Archive." Archiving a chat is essentially closing it; it removes the chat from your active list and moves it to the archived chats section.
-
Verify the Chat is Closed:
- After archiving, you'll notice that the chat has disappeared from your active list in the sidebar.
- To view or reopen an archived chat, scroll up in the sidebar until you see "Archived chats" at the bottom, then click on it to expand and find your archived chat.
-
Permanently Delete a Chat (Optional):
- If you want to permanently delete a chat instead of just closing it, select "More" from the menu that appears when you click on the three vertical dots next to the chat's name.
- Then, choose "Delete chat." You'll be prompted to confirm your decision. Keep in mind that deleting a chat is irreversible and will remove all messages, media, and other data associated with that chat from your computer.
By following these steps, you can effectively close or even permanently delete WhatsApp chats on your computer, helping you maintain a clean and organized inbox.
