Hidden list removes the row. Blur hides the last line if the row stays. A chat PIN hides the messages.

Hidden chat versus lock-screen previews
People hide the row and still get caught by the banner. They are different screens.
In the app
A private chat, with the locks.
- A username instead of your phone number.
- App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
- A vault for files, away from the gallery.
- Friend chats and groups are free.

Help
Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Does a mention ignore mute?
In a group, a mention notifies you even when the group is muted.
Does hidden stop a banner by itself?
Treat mute and quiet hours as required, not optional, if the banner is the risk.
