If you have deleted a message, photo or conversation on one device, it will be removed from all of your devices.”Īs more details on WhatsApp’s alternative leak, it is becoming clear that it will fall way short. “You will always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. “iCloud keeps your entire message history updated and available on all of your devices,” Apple explains. It will be available in a future update for iOS and Android.Īs shown in these screenshots, if you have any new message from your archived chats, you will see a counter in the cell, the same if you have a mention from a group chat.But iMessage is much more than linked devices, it’s a fully synchronized ecosystem that is fully protected by end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp is preparing an update that brings a new experience for your Archive: when you receive a message from archived chats, they won't be unarchived anymore. Note that all notifications from Archived chats will be automatically muted.

If you have a chat in the archive, the cell will be always pinned to the top. The feature is not available yet because it’s under development, but WhatsApp is preparing some UI improvements for the Archived Chats cell, that will be visible only if you have any chats in your archive. It has been renamed to Read Later during the development and, as announced in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.21.5.4 update, WhatsApp has renamed it to Archived Chats again. This feature was called Vacation Mode the first time. We explained many times that WhatsApp was working to improve Archived chats, in order to stop unarchiving them when new messages arrive.
