Telegram is a popular messaging app known for its privacy features and robust group chat capabilities. However, with the convenience of staying connected comes a flurry of notifications, including those that inform you when a contact has joined Telegram. While this can be useful, some users find these notifications intrusive or distracting. If you’re one of them, don’t worry; we’ll guide you through the process of disabling contact joined Telegram notifications.
Why Disable Contact Joined Notifications?
Contact joined notifications can be handy, especially if you want to keep track of when friends or colleagues join Telegram. It’s a quick way to know when someone you know has entered the platform. However, these notifications can quickly become overwhelming as your contact list grows. They may disrupt your workflow or fill your notification bar with alerts you don’t necessarily need. Fortunately, Telegram provides an option to manage and disable these notifications as needed.
Here’s how you can do it:
Method 1: Mute Individual Chats
Open Telegram: Launch the Telegram app on your device.
Go to the Chat: Find the chat with the contact whose joined notification you want to mute.
Tap on the Contact’s Name: In the chat, tap on the contact’s name at the top of the screen to open their profile.
Adjust Notifications: Scroll down to the “Custom Notifications” section and tap on it.
Disable “Contact Joined Telegram”: Inside the “Custom Notifications” settings, you’ll find an option labeled “Contact Joined Telegram.” Toggle it off to disable joined notifications for this specific contact.
Save Changes: Remember to save your changes, usually by pressing the checkmark or “Save” button.
Method 2: Adjust Global Notification Settings
If you want to disable contact joined notifications for all your contacts, you can adjust the global notification settings:
Open Telegram: Launch the Telegram app.
Access Settings: Tap on the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner to open the menu, then select “Settings.”
Go to Notifications and Sounds: Under the “Settings” menu, tap on “Notifications and Sounds.”
Customize Notifications: Scroll down until you find the “Other” section and tap on “Contact Joined Telegram.”
Choose Notification Type: You’ll have the option to choose between “Sound” or “No Sound.” Select “No Sound” to disable the notification sound.
Save Changes: Be sure to save your changes before exiting the settings menu.
