Finding Your Way Around
- On a Computer
- On a Phone
Your list stays on the left and the conversation you open fills the right. Nothing opens until you choose it, so a new message stays unread until you actually look at it.
Archive a Conversation
Archiving tidies your list. It doesn’t delete anything.1
Open the Conversation
Select it from your Conversations list.
2
Open the Menu
Select the ⋮ menu at the top of the conversation.
3
Choose Archive Conversation
It leaves your main list and moves under Archived.
Getting It Back
An archived conversation that’s unread doesn’t count toward your unread total. Archiving doesn’t change email notifications, so if you’d rather not hear about a conversation at all, mute it instead.
Archive, Mute, or Block?
All three live in the same ⋮ menu and do different jobs.Archive
Hides the conversation from your list. Comes back when there’s a new message.
Mute
Keeps it in your list but stops in-app notifications for it.
Block
Stops messages between you, both ways.
