Extension summary

WhatsAppWeb website can be used a lot in different places, like in an office, at home, etc., and since it's not on your phone, it's really easy that someone might see your screen and sensitive conversations. In order to hide chats, you can archive them.

WhatsApp web by default, shows the archived chats on top of all chats, indicating that you have archived chats (not discreet at all), and every time you get a new message from an archived chat, a flashy notification is displayed on top, so It's very obvious that you're actively chatting with someone in archived chats.

This extension provides more privacy, hiding the archived chats section on top and moving this functionality to a small icon on the header profile, so nosy people won't notice that you have archived chats.

Works for me in October, 2024. I almost didn't try it because of the other comment from July. Not sure what's happening. Such a great extension for such a stupid feature in WhatsApp. WHY do I want to see how many new messages from archived convos I have when I am trying to IGNORE THAT ONE CHAT COMPLETEY?!?!?! Ahem... Windows 11, Regular Chrome, web.whatsapp.com
