If you're looking to stop WhatsApp from showing archive messages, there are a few steps you can take. The first option is to simply delete the archived chat. This will remove it from your list of conversations and prevent it from appearing in the archives again in the future. However, if you don't want to delete the conversation entirely, there's another way to keep it hidden: archiving it manually. To do this, open up the chat page for that particular person or group that you wish to hide away and then select Archive Chat from the top-right corner of your screen. After doing so, all messages exchanged with them will be moved out of your active chats into an archived folder which won't show up on your main chats view unless you explicitly unarchive them at a later date. This way, even though they may be still stored on WhatsApp servers for backup purposes, they won't be visible nor accessible by anyone else who might have access to your account until such time as when you choose to make them available once more by reversing the previously mentioned process!
