WhatsApp Archived Chats allows users to organize private messages and prioritize important conversations, the company said in a statement. The messaging platform further said that many users have been demanding that archived messages should hide in the Archived Chats folder, instead of making it to the main chat list. 

The feature is a default setting and will work until you choose to unarchive them. In case you want to roll back to keeping those chats archived, you can do that too. The feature is another attempt by WhatsApp to help people have interruption-free conversations. It will also help them keep the priority things right in front of their eyes.

“We know that not everything always needs to be front and centre for you. We want to make sure that WhatsApp remains a private and secure place where you can speak to the people who are most important to you and where you’re in control of your messages," WhatsApp said in a statement
