WhatsApp: How to remove Archived Chat from top? Check step-by-step guide

WhatsApp has an in-built feature known as 'Archive Chats' to hide the chats of your choice. After you archive a chat, it remains hidden from the main window of WhatsApp and in the archived folder. To check the messages from the archived user, you either have to look into the folder or you must search the name or the number of the chat. The archive folder was previously hidden within the app but after a recent update, the archived folder sits on top of the chat window. In the new update, even if the archived user messages, the chat will remain hidden inside the box on the top. This has been an unpopular update and many users have tried to get rid of the same.
