How to Hide Specific Chats on GBWhatsApp
Sometimes you don’t want every conversation to be visible the moment someone opens your WhatsApp. Whether it’s personal, work-related, or just something you’d like to keep private, GBWhatsApp makes it possible to hide specific chats with ease. Unlike the official WhatsApp, which only offers the “archive” option, GBWhatsApp gives you multiple tools to keep your conversations safe and hidden. Let’s walk through how you can do it step by step.
Practical Reasons to Keep Chats Hidden
There are plenty of situations where hiding chats makes sense:
- Keeping sensitive conversations safe from prying eyes
- Maintaining work/personal boundaries
- Organizing your chat list by removing less-used conversations
- Adding an extra layer of privacy beyond the lock screen
How to Hide a Specific Chat
Here’s the simplest way to hide chats in GBWhatsApp:
- Long-press on the chat you want to hide.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
- Select “Hide Chat” (or “Hide” depending on version).
- Enter your chosen pattern, PIN, or fingerprint lock.
Once you set this up, the chat disappears from your main list and can only be accessed with your secret lock.
💡 Tip: If you haven’t set a lock yet, GBWhatsApp will prompt you to create one.
Accessing Your Hidden Chats
Wondering where the chat went? Don’t worry, it’s still safe.
- On the home screen, tap the “GBWhatsApp” logo at the top.
- Enter your secret lock.
- All hidden chats will appear here in one place.
This way, you get a private space inside the app that others won’t even notice.
Adding a Password or Fingerprint Lock
For extra protection, you can lock hidden chats separately from the main app.
- Go to GB Settings → Privacy → Hide Chats.
- Choose PIN, password, or fingerprint.
- Now, even if someone knows your phone unlock code, they still can’t see hidden chats without the special key.
Difference Between Hide and Archive
Users often confuse Archive and Hide. Here’s the difference:
- Archive: Chats are moved to the archive folder but reappear when someone messages you.
- Hide: Chats are completely invisible unless you unlock them.
If privacy is your goal, hiding is far more effective.
Other Tricks to Keep Conversations Secret
Beyond hiding chats, GBWhatsApp gives you extra options:
- Custom Notification: Disable alerts for certain chats.
- Hide Media: Stop images/videos from showing in your phone’s gallery.
- Anti-Revoke Messages: Even if someone deletes a message, you can still see it.
Together, these features make secret conversations much easier to manage.
Conclusion
Hiding chats in GBWhatsApp is simple, secure, and gives you full control over your privacy. Whether you’re keeping work discussions separate, protecting sensitive conversations, or just decluttering your chat list, GBWhatsApp makes it effortless. With options like hidden chat locks, custom notifications, and media privacy, it offers more than the official WhatsApp ever could.
