Hides the unread message counter in the "Archived" chat row in WhatsApp Web without removing the archive itself. Works in all languages and is icon-based for reliability.
Hide Unread Counter in WhatsApp Archived Chat
Description:
This userscript hides the unread message counter (e.g., "1", "2") shown next to the "Archived" chat in WhatsApp Web.
It does not remove or hide the archived chat itself—only the number that appears next to it when there are unread messages.
Perfect for those who want a cleaner interface and less visual pressure from unread badges, especially if you intentionally use Archive as a "mute inbox".
✅ Works in all languages
✅ Based on the archive icon, not text — very reliable
✅ Automatically runs on dynamic changes (e.g. when new messages arrive)
✅ Keeps the archive visible and clickable
Note:
This does not affect regular chats or their unread counters. Only the counter inside the Archived row is hidden.
