WhatsApp is the most widely used instant messaging application in the world. Over time it has become an almost essential tool for communication with friends, family and co-workers. However, on vacation it is good to disconnect to return to routine with renewed energy. In this sense, the application has released a function that allows you to establish a kind of “vacation mode” to keep those conversations aside for a while.
The new feature WhatsApp allows you to better organize your application’s inbox. In this way, the user can choose which conversations or groups will be visible. All the others go to category of “archived”, which in addition to not showing up at the beginning, are also silenced. Isn’t it a perfect function for “that group” whose activity doesn’t slow down even at dawn? Maybe yes, and even if you have previously muted it, it can be annoying to see it in the inbox.
