How to hide a conversation:
- It is possible to tap and hold a conversation in your chat list to access it directly, or you can right click the conversation and go straight to it.
- You can hide a conversation by selecting the Hide conversation option.
How to view a hidden conversation:
- Select the downward chevron button from the list of chats in your chat window.
- The hidden chats will be visible to you once more once you choose the Hidden chats option.Note: Additionally, in case you forget the name of a conversation, you can use the search feature to locate the conversation by searching for the specific name of a discussion or contact in order to locate the conversation again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I hide someone on Skype?
It is possible to block a contact in Skype by right clicking on the contact you wish to block, or by tapping and holding the contact and selecting View profile from within the Chats or Contacts tab of Skype. In the profile window for the person, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select the Block contact option from the menu that appears. You can block a contact by selecting the Edit button and then selecting Block contact.
How do I find hidden conversations on Skype?
It is possible to unhide hidden conversations on Skype for Windows Desktop’s classic version (View -> Show Hidden Conversations), so if the latest message was sent within the last six months and you have the option to view these conversations in the Recent List if they have not been hidden previously. If the last message you sent has been within the past six months, you will be able to use this feature.
Does blocking someone on Skype delete messages?
It is important to remember that when you block a contact via Skype, all past messages that have been sent to that contact will not be deleted when you block them. As long as you have access to your Recent list on the Skype application, you will still be able to view your old conversation with the blocked contact, and by doing so, you will be able to view it.
How do you know if someone blocked me on Skype?
Tap or click on the name of the user to bring up their profile.
It’s pretty easy to tell that a user has blocked you if you see a message on their profile that says “This person has not shared their details with you” which means they have not shared their details with you. A Skype icon, rather than a picture of the person’s normal profile picture, on their profile page indicates that you’ve been blocked from seeing their profile.
Is Skype private conversation safe?
Private conversations are more secure than normal messages since they are completely encrypted from beginning to end, so there is no need to worry about security issues as they are completely encrypted from beginning to end. Due to the nature of private conversations, they cannot be copied or shared between devices that are part of the same account, so you will not be able to continue a private conversation on another device under the same account.
