Need to unhide a message or chat on OnlyFans?
The good news is that hiding a chat does not delete it. Hidden conversations are still there, just moved out of your main inbox view. You can unhide them anytime.
This guide walks through exactly how to find and unhide hidden chats on both desktop and mobile, explains what hiding actually does (and does not do), and covers best practices for managing your OnlyFans inbox.
Before getting into the steps, it helps to understand what happens when you hide a chat.
Hiding a chat:
Deleting messages:
Hiding is an organizational tool, not a deletion tool. Think of it like archiving an email rather than deleting it.
Hiding:
Blocking:
If you want to stop someone from messaging you, blocking is the tool. If you just want to organize your inbox, hiding is the tool.
Follow these steps to unhide a hidden chat using OnlyFans in a web browser on your computer.
Log in to your OnlyFans account. On the left sidebar, click on the Messages icon (it looks like a paper airplane or chat bubble).
Once you are on the messages page, look at the top right area of your chat list. You will see a three-dot menu icon (sometimes called an ellipsis or "more options" icon). Click on it.
A dropdown menu will appear. Click on "Hidden" to view all your hidden conversations.
You will now see a list of all chats you have previously hidden. Scroll through to find the conversation you want to restore.
Once you find the chat:
The conversation will immediately move back to your main inbox.
The process on mobile is similar but adapted for touch screens.
Open the OnlyFans app and tap the Messages icon in the bottom navigation bar.
Look for the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner of the messages screen. Tap on it.
From the menu that appears, tap "Hidden" to see your hidden conversations.
Scroll through your hidden chats to find the one you want to restore. Tap the three-dot menu next to that conversation, then tap "Unhide chat."
The conversation will move back to your main inbox.
Sometimes you might not find a chat where you expect it. Here are possible explanations.
When someone in a hidden chat sends you a new message, the conversation automatically moves back to your main inbox. Check your regular message list first before looking in Hidden.
If the other person deleted their OnlyFans account, the conversation disappears entirely. There is no way to recover chats with deleted accounts.
If you accidentally blocked someone rather than hiding the chat, it works differently. Check your blocked list in your settings. Unblocking will restore their ability to message you, but previous messages may or may not reappear.
Occasionally the app or website may have temporary display issues. Try:
Hiding chats is an organizational tool. Here are best practices for using it effectively.
Good uses of hiding:
Not ideal uses:
For creators managing many conversations:
The risk of hiding is forgetting. A subscriber in a hidden chat might feel ignored if you never respond. Consider:
Beyond hiding, OnlyFans has other message management features.
OnlyFans allows you to create lists to organize subscribers. This can help manage your inbox without hiding conversations:
For creators, mass messaging lets you send to all subscribers or specific lists at once. This is separate from individual hidden chats but helps manage communication at scale.
Messages from non-subscribers or certain accounts may appear in message requests rather than your main inbox. Check message requests if you are missing expected messages.
Restricting a user is between hiding and blocking:
Consider restrict if you want to reduce someone's visibility without fully blocking them.
No. Hiding is entirely on your side. The other person receives no notification and sees no change in their experience.
No. All messages are preserved. Hiding only changes where the conversation appears in your view.
Currently, OnlyFans requires hiding chats individually. There is no bulk hide option.
Yes, if the person sends you a new message, the conversation automatically returns to your main inbox.
There does not appear to be a specific limit on hidden chats.
The search function may or may not include hidden chats depending on current OnlyFans features. Try searching from your main inbox first.
