Archiving and Unarchiving Chats
One of the useful features on Facebook Messenger, but many might be confused about the “Archiving” feature. Will the other party receive a notification after I archive the conversation? This article will help you understand the “Archiving” feature clearly.

The archive feature allows you to hide a chat without deleting the conversation log. After archiving, the archived chat will not be displayed on the main page.
Will the Other Person Know After Archiving Chats on Messenger?
Are you worried that when you archive a chat with someone or a group on Messenger, the other party will receive a notification? To protect your privacy, archiving conversations on Messenger is an action only performed on your phone, and the other party won’t know that you have archived the chatroom! Even after you archive the other party’s chat, they can still send messages to you normally, and you can receive them normally.

FAQ:
Will the other party know that I have archived the chat?

After archiving a chat, are we able to receive new messages from it?
Yes, as soon as the other party sends a message again, it will reappear in the Messenger list.
How to Use Messenger Password Lock?
When using Messenger, if there are some private messages you don’t want others to easily discover, you can add an extra layer of protection using a password lock. After using the password lock, you’ll need to enter a password or Touch ID to use Facebook Messenger.

How to Use Messenger Screen Share?
