1. **Locate** and click the conversation you wish to archive in your WhatsApp Inbox.
2. Click the '''vertical ellipsis''' on the top menu.
3. Select the '''Archive''' option from the dropdown menu.
   
Once completed, the conversation will be archived and will still be accessible in your Inbox. The archived status will be indicated in both the top menu and the right-side panel.

=== Archiving a WhatsApp Conversation Using the Right Side Panel ===
1. **Locate** and click the desired conversation in your WhatsApp Inbox.
2. Click the '''Archive''' icon located at the top of the right panel.
   
Similar to the previous method, this will archive the conversation while allowing continued access through your Inbox. Again, the status will reflect this change in the top menu and right-side panel.

To '''unarchive''' this message, follow the same steps and select the '''Unarchive''' option.

=== Archiving WhatsApp Conversations When Marked as “Closed” ===
You can automate the archiving process for WhatsApp conversations marked as '''Closed'''. This feature helps maintain an orderly inbox by archiving conversations that meet closure criteria. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to '''WhatsApp > Settings''' from the left menu.
2. Under '''Inbox config''', click on '''Inbox Settings'''.
3. Toggle the '''Archive conversations when closing them?''' option to enable this feature.
4. Finally, click the '''Save changes''' button to apply your settings.

This feature will ensure conversations are automatically archived after being marked as closed, either manually or after a specified period of inactivity.
