How to hide a conversation in WhatsApp with a person without deleting it - in detail?

To hide a conversation in WhatsApp with a particular contact without deleting it, you can use the archive feature. This allows you to remove the chat from your main screen while keeping all messages intact and accessible. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
2. Locate the Chat: Find the conversation with the contact you wish to hide in your chat list.

3. Archive the Chat:

   • On Android, long press on the chat until a menu appears at the top of the screen. Tap the archive icon (a box with an arrow pointing up).
   • On iOS, swipe left on the chat and tap the "Archive" button that appears.
4. Confirm Archiving: A confirmation message may appear. Confirm that you want to archive the chat.
5. Access Archived Chats (if needed): If you ever need to access the archived conversation again, you can find it by scrolling to the bottom of your chat list and tapping on "Archived chats".

Using this method ensures that the conversation remains hidden from your main view but is still available if you need to refer back to it in the future. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining a clean and organized chat list without losing important messages.
