Streamlining Your WhatsApp Business Dashboard: Hide Those Unused Labels for a Cleaner, Calmer Workspace

Management of your company's operations using WhatsApp may seem extremely effective... up until you realize that it's not. Your dashboard suddenly is full of labels you've not utilized in a long time, or like you're navigating an unorganized junk drawer every whenever you start the application.

Labels are designed to help you get through your day and less stressful; however, when they pile in a row, they're doing exactly the opposite. If you've looked through the Facebook Business labels and wondered, "Wait, do I even use half of these?" It's not a problem. Labels can be great for helping you organize your tasks. If you actually use them. When unused labels accumulate and pile up, they become a mess which slows down the flow of your work.

What's the good part? It is possible to completely declutter your desktop by concealing (or perhaps deleting) the labels that aren't used. Your future self will be thankful to you for it.

This is how you can improve the user experience of you and your WhatsApp Business dashboard feel a greater sense of calm.

Why Bother Hiding Unused Labels?

Before we go into the details, let's discuss the reasons behind it.

Imagine labels as folders to organize your conversations. They can help you categorize and organize chats, like "New Leads," "Pending Payments," "VIP Clients," and so on. However, over time, the categories alter. Some categories stop being relevant. Perhaps you've launched a marketing campaign, and it's ended, and you were able to monitor leads in different ways.

Storing old labels in storage is like securing empty shoeboxes; they occupy storage space and have no use.

Hiding (or taking out) these labels could:

• Provide you with a better understanding of what is important
• It is easier to locate the correct tags fast
• Clear your mind and increase productivity

It's not just to be use in your wardrobe.

How to Hide or Delete Labels in WhatsApp Business

Let's put on our hoodies and start working

The steps below apply to the WhatsApp Business application (not normal WhatsApp). Check to make sure you're running the appropriate version.

Option 1: Reassign or Archive Chats Before Deleting Labels

If you're contemplating deleting an item but you've been tagged in chats, consider one of the following options:

• Transferring those chats to a different label
• Archiving chats (if they're no longer active)

Option 2: Delete the Label Completely

Here's how:

• Start WhatsApp Business on your phone.
• Tap on the 3 dots located in the upper right-hand corner.
• Go to Labels.
• Click through, then click on the name you wish to remove.
• Click the three dots on the label screen, then press Delete Label.
• If you are asked to confirm, click the confirmation.

Boom - gone. This label's past.

Removing labels doesn't remove the chat messages. It only removes the label. There's no way to erase conversations.

Option 3:Use Fewer Labels & Group Smarter

You might not want to erase labels, but prefer to have fewer labels visible.

You can:

• Examine labels on a monthly basis: Spend 5 minutes per month to clear out any empty labels.
• Utilize starred messages to gain rapid access to crucial information without labeling.
• Top chats on the PIN. Make sure to prioritize conversations in the ongoing queue so that they're always top of the list.

Final Thoughts:

The WhatsApp Business dashboard doesn't have to appear like digital chaos. The ability to hide or delete labels you don't want can be a minor tweak that could make a significant impact on how you handle conversations and also your own sanity.

Therefore, embrace your inner Marie Kondo, and ask yourself: "Does this label spark joy?" If not, then delete the item.
