WhatsApp has been working for months on a new feature that allows users to set a “vacation mode” to silence some chats and conversations during periods of rest. It would be something like the “Out Of Office” or “Out of the office” of mail services like Gmail and many other email providers.

WhatsApp has improved the function of archiving chats

However, beyond having carried out some tests on the source code of its app in beta, the company has not yet officially launched this functionality that would allow managing conversations during holiday periods and helping to completely disconnect from the mobile during them.

There is an option that serves to temporarily disconnect WhatsApp, but if you do not want to use it, you should know that, while we wait for the arrival of “vacation mode” officially, there is also another way to rest and not receive messages on WhatsApp that do not we want during the holidays.

WatsApp has improved the “Archive Chat” feature this week, which allows you to hide an individual or group chat from the chat list. Until now, when a chat was archived, if someone wrote a new message in it, it would go back to the chat list, therefore, they would hear about that topic that they did not want to know about.

However, from now on you can better organize what you want to see and what you don’t. When archiving a chat, only those that interest us will appear in the main chats tray. That is why by using the new option “Archive Chat”, you can replace the absence of “vacation mode” and manage to hide chats with colleagues, with the boss … or all those you want, from easy way to unwind on vacation.

The way to do it is very simple, as we are going to explain:

In the list of conversations, press and hold the one you want to hide. A menu will appear with several options, you have to choose the penultimate one, which is identified by an arrow icon pointing downwards.

When selected, the conversation will no longer be displayed in the main chat list. If you wanted to go back to it, you would have to go to the end of the chat history and access “Archived”. If you click on it again, the option to “Unarchive chat” will appear.

All you have to do is slide the conversation you want to archive to the left, from the general list of chats. The option to “Archive” will appear, with an icon of a folder. Press it and the conversation will be archived.

If you want to access it, you must slide up the list of chats, until the first conversation appears. A little higher you will see the option “Archived Chats”, just below the search box. Enter it and press the conversation that interests you to see again. If you slide to the left, the option “Unarchive” will appear.
