Through the past few years, Instant messaging apps have slowly replaced verbal communication among people. People now utilize instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp to converse on formal and informal ground.
Since many people prefer conversing via WhatsApp instead of verbally, there is imperative need to secure our chats from friends and 3rd party without making us sound rude. Having to lock your WhatsApp with an app locker will suggest that you have many things to hide. But being able to hide WhatsApp chat won’t sell you out at all.
Hiding on Whatsapp simply involves archiving your chats. This ensures that friends who regularly view your Whatsapp won’t find such chats. To view archived chat, simply scroll down until you see achieved chats. Click on the chat and un-archive the chat to view the hidden chat.
