Telegram still offers no easy way to turn off new contact joined notifications. Contacts that have yet to join the service cannot be manually deleted as they do not appear under ‘Contacts’ in Telegram. This can be problematic as you will be constantly alerted as soon as new contacts join the service. Note that manually deleting contacts works only for contacts that have already joined Telegram.
Telegram on the other hand not only notifies users that a new contact joined via a push notification, it automatically creates a conversation with them under ‘Chats’ in the form of “Your contact ABC XYZ has joined Telegram!” which can pile up and must be manually deleted on every device signed into Telegram. However, here’s the catch: WhatsApp by default does not notify users of new contacts joining the service. Second, assuming permission to access contacts is still granted, contacts in your phone book joining the service later on will automatically appear under ‘Contacts’ in the app. Uploading your contacts achieves two things: First, contacts in your phone book who have joined WhatsApp or Telegram would have registered their phone number with the service and will show up under ‘Contacts’. Much like WhatsApp, Telegram by default asks users for permission to access their contacts the first time the app is run, and goes on to upload them if permission is granted.
If you’ve been using Telegram for long enough, you probably would have noticed the chat list growing each time one of your contacts joins the service. The instructions still apply as of the updated date. Despite it being a while since its initial posting, the post is now re-published. Note: This post was hidden shortly after its creation as we were unsure about the working instructions after encountering some issues.
