The arrival of a new function on WhatsApp that poses a danger to those who are ‘forgotten’

The new functionality that has arrived in WhatsApp presents a danger to those who are “forgotten”. Messenger now lets you archive conversations permanently.

And even if that person or group sends messages again, the conversation will still be archived – outside of the main chat list.

The feature was in the testing stages and has already been released. Until then, archived conversations can go back to the home screen if a new message arrives.

The permanent archive function will be turned on by default, so you don’t have to move anything to run it.

“The file on WhatsApp allows you to organize your private messages and prioritize important conversations,” the app highlighted.

“Your archived conversations will now remain archived and muted, but you can always change them back,” he recalls in a demonstration video.
