Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of this guide, going to explain how to see chats stored on Samsung WhatsApp, there is some preliminary information, in this regard, which seems to me only right to provide you.
First, keep in mind that archiving chats on WhatsApp is not the same as deleting them. In fact, although on the surface it may seem the opposite (especially for less tech-savvy users), archiving chats is a function offered by WhatsApp simply for hide conversations from the screen Chat app: move them to another section, therefore, and does not eliminate them.
Once moved to the dedicated section, archived chats can be consult at any time and, moreover, if necessary, they can be restored to be accessible again from the main WhatsApp screen.
On the other hand, the conversation is different eliminated. In this case, in fact, the conversations are removed in the true sense of the term from WhatsApp, as I explained to you in detail in my guide on how to delete a chat from WhatsApp.
In the specific case of elimination, therefore, the chats I can no longer be recovered, unless they are restored by a backup previous or using the ** software for the recovery of give, as I told you in detail in my post on how to recover deleted WhatsApp chats.
The only commonality between archived and deleted conversations is that, in both cases, after removing the chats from the screen where they are grouped, it is no longer backed up, so take that into account.

After completing the above steps, the screen will then open Archived chats containing the complete list of WhatsApp conversations that you have decided to archive, all marked with the label Filed.
I point out that, despite having been archived, the conversations in the list are still freely accessible, simply by tapping on the relative title. As a result, you can view messages in archived chats in the same way as you typically do with non-archived chats.

Archived conversations will be moved back to the tab Chat of WhatsApp even if your interlocutors should send new messages to them.
