How to return to a WhatsApp conversation if you left it yourself - in detail?
To return to a WhatsApp conversation that you have left, follow these detailed steps:
- Locate the Archived Chat: When you leave a group or mute a chat on WhatsApp, it gets archived. To find it, open WhatsApp and swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the search bar. Type the name of the contact or group you want to return to.
- Unarchive the Chat: Once you've located the archived chat, tap and hold on the conversation until a menu appears at the top of your screen. In this menu, you will see options like 'Select', 'Mute', 'Delete', and 'Archive'. Tap on 'Archive' to unarchive the chat.
- Return to Your Chats List: After unarchiving, the chat will move back to your main chats list. You can now continue your conversation as usual. If you want to pin this chat to the top of your chats list for easier access in the future, tap and hold on it again, then select 'Pin' from the menu.
- Check Notification Settings: To avoid missing important messages in the future, make sure that notifications are enabled for the chat or group. Go into the chat, tap on the contact or group name at the top of the screen, and then select 'Notifications'. Here you can customize your notification settings to ensure you don't miss any updates.
By following these steps, you can easily return to a WhatsApp conversation that you have left and continue communicating with your contacts or groups seamlessly.
