I have my text app set up so that when I swipe left or right on a text thread it sends it to the Archive folder and out of my Inbox. Occasionally there will be someone that I know I need to limit my contact with for whatever reason but I keep getting tempted to text them when I go to send a meme or something and scroll through my recent text contacts. (“Oh! They’d think this is hilarious!”) Or sometimes it’s someone on my shitlist and just seeing their thread irks me. But I may not be ready to full-on block them because they’re family or a really old friend. That’s where Archive has come in so handy. It eliminates the visual temptation or annoyance. Also, if the other person texts me it immediately comes out of the Archive folder and shows up in my Inbox again and I’ll make a decision whether to read it or send it back to Archive unopened. However, it’s like Block Lite and has removed a little bit of stress from my life when needed.

    I do this.

    I also will delete someone’s number and archive the messages. If they text me, it’ll pop up. But it makes it harder for me to initiate contact.
