Hide WhatsApp contacts - how it works
In this practical tip we will show you how to hide or remove from WhatsApp contacts from your list.
How to hide WhatsApp contacts
You can hide contacts in the paid WhatsApp version. To prevent them from appearing in the contact list, follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp.
- In the "Chats" menu at the top right, select the three items for the settings.
- Opt for "Settings"> "Contacts".
- Remove the check from "Show all contacts".
Hide contacts from chat histories
If you want to hide a chat history to hide it from others, you have two options:
- If you no longer need the history, you can delete it entirely. To do this, tap on a history for several seconds and select "Delete chat".
- Alternatively, select "Archive chat". The chat with the corresponding contact is no longer displayed in the chat list, but can still be called up using the search function.
