This article explains how to turn “Notifications for chats” on or off in the Telegram app on mobile devices.
Telegram is a cross-platform instant messaging app that focuses on speed and security. It allows users to send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share photos and videos with end-to-end encryption to help ensure user privacy and security.
When you install and set up Telegram on Windows, you can start it up automatically when signing into Windows, turn the spell checker on or off, change media download paths, turn disable filtering on or off, change who can add you to groups and channels, turn send with enter on or off, change who can see my phone number, change who can see your last seen and online status, change who can call me, turn auto-delete messages on or off, and more.
When you use the mobile version, you can turn Power Saving Mode on or off, use less data for calls, turn automatic media download on or off, turn save to gallery on or off, set up your username, and more, which are unavailable on the desktop version.
The mobile version also lets you turn “Notifications for chats” on or off in [Private Chats], [Groups], [Channels], and [Stories].
Turning “Notifications for chats” on or off in Telegram allows you to control whether or not you receive notifications for new messages in your private chats, groups, channels, and stories. When this option is turned on, you will receive a notification every time a new message is sent to you or a group or channel you’re a member of.
If turned off, you won’t receive any notifications and must manually check for new messages. This can be useful if you want to minimize distractions or if you only want to check your messages at specific times during the day.
