Until recently, a new message used to come in the chat hidden in the archive folder, it used to appear again. That is, it used to come out of the archive folder. In July, WhatsApp rolled out the new Archived Chats settings. After its implementation, even if a new message comes in the chat kept in the archive folder, it remains hidden. This means that unless the user himself wants to remove that archived chat from the folder, it will remain hidden.
