Introduction
Not all chats on WhatsApp need to be public; you might want to hide some conversations for different reasons. If you have a chat that you want to keep hidden from prying eyes, here is a guide on how to hide WhatsApp chats on Android, iPhone, and PC. On Android, there are two ways to go about it: by archiving the chat or by hiding the chat. Archiving a chat will not delete the chat; it will only move the chat from your Chats screen and store it in the Archived Chats folder.
Hiding WhatsApp chats on Android
To hide a WhatsApp chat on your Android device, long-press on a chat until the options menu appears. Tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner, then select “Archive chat.” This will move the chat to your archived chats folder, which is hidden by default. To view your archived chats, tap on the “Chats” tab at the bottom of the main WhatsApp screen, then press and hold on the “Archived chats” tab at the top. If you want to completely remove a chat from your WhatsApp history without archiving it first, long-press on the chat and select “Delete chat.” You will be given the option to delete just the messages in the chat or to delete the entire chat history.
Hiding WhatsApp Chats on iPhone
There are a few ways to hide WhatsApp chats on the iPhone. One is to archive the chat, which will remove it from your main chat list but keep the messages and media accessible. To do this, open the chat you want to hide and swipe left on it. Tap “Archive” to confirm. You can also hide a chat by going into your chat list settings and choosing which chats you want to appear. To do this, open WhatsApp and tap the three dots in the top-right corner. Tap “Settings,” then “Chats.” Under “Chat History,” tap “Hide Archived Chats.” This will hide all of your archived chats from your main chat list. You can still access them by tapping the three dots in the top right corner and selecting “Archived Chats.”
Hiding WhatsApp chats on PC
Hiding WhatsApp chats on your PC is a good way to keep your messages private and ensure that only you can see them. To do this, you’ll need to use the WhatsApp Web interface. When you first open WhatsApp Web, you’ll be asked to scan a QR code with your phone. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to see all of your WhatsApp chats on your PC. To hide a chat, simply click on the chat and then click the “Hide chat” button at the top of the screen. You can also hide chats by clicking on the “Settings” cog in the top-right corner of the WhatsApp Web interface and then selecting “Hide.”

Conclusion
If you want to keep your WhatsApp chats hidden from snooping eyes, there are a couple of different ways you can go about it. On Android and iPhone, you can either archive your chats so they’re out of sight but still accessible, or you can hide specific chats by marking them as unimportant. On PC, you can archive your chats or use the desktop app’s built-in chat hiding feature.
