WhatsApp is now one of the most used chat applications. Almost every day many people use this application to send messages.
But sometimes it is undeniable, there are incoming messages from someone we don't want. How to solve this, huh?
For those of you who are lazy to bother blocking contacts, or to seem 'unnoticed' if you don't like them, you can take advantage of one of the available features, namely the archive feature.
The archive feature in WhatsApp keeps messages coming in, but in an archived and muted state. So there is no info, if he sends you a message.
This feature, which was released in April 2019, also allows you to prioritize only important messages, and messages in the archive feature will remain muted, unless at any time they are returned to normal mode like other messages.
"Archives on WhatsApp allow you to manage private messages and prioritize important chats. The archived chats will still be archived and muted but you can still change them back," WhatsApp wrote on its Twitter account.
