The Meta-owned instant messaging platform recently introduced a repackaged version of archived chat feature. The messaging feature now lets users mute a contact forever. So, if there’s an annoying contact sending good morning messages or unwanted forwards on a daily basis, just achieve the chat.

Notably, you can unarchive the contact at any point in time.
