Hidden chats: lock any chat with a secret code
Lock a chat and it disappears from your chat list. Its notifications stop showing the messages, and it opens only from Locked chats — with your secret code.

How to hide a chat

To read it, tap Locked chats at the top of your chat list and enter your code. When you are done, tap Hide locked chats again.
