Want to get rid of that annoying contact sending good morning messages on WhatsApp, but do not want to block him? There’s a way to do that in simple steps.

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.

How to mute someone on WhatsApp forever

Step 2: Open the message platform

Step 3: Select the annoying contact. You can select as many as you want.

Step 4: On Android, long press on the contact and click on the [down arrow] at the top of the screen. On iOS, either swipe to left or long press on the contact and click on archive option.

Step 5: On both iOS and Android, the archive contacts can be accessed just a click or unarchived.

How to find archived contacts on WhatsApp

The process is the same for both Android and iOS for WhatsApp.

Step 1: Open WhatsApp app.

Step 2: WhatsApp for iOS and Android show Archive chats section right at the top of the home screen.
