> So when I hear of people taking advantage of features to hide chats from their partner it makes me wonder about the psychological health of either the relationship, one, or both of the partners.

I am the exact opposite and would wonder about the psychological health of either the relationship or both of the partners if they have so intertwined themselves that they no longer feel the need to keep any aspect of their identities private from each other.

> Only other reason I can think to hide chats

The number of reasons are as numerous as there are relationships. I literally just finished sending my mother a message about a joint gift to my father in a group chat that I would not want my father to see, since it would spoil his Christmas present. I have several chat groups that contain information that I am legally not allowed to let my partner, or anyone else for that matter, see. And thats not even getting into all the different levels of confidentially that friends talking amongst friends reasonably might expect when sharing stories of their personal lives with each other.
