How to stop getting New Friends Joined alerts on Telegram or Signal
Telegram and Signal are two of the better Instant Messaging apps you can choose today. And it’s not about the privacy aspect only. Many features, such as multi-platform support and enhanced Voice Chat options, make Telegram and Signal worth the shift. However, there are a few things that annoy people on these IM platforms. One of them is the ‘New friends joined‘ alerts.
What are these New Friends Joined alerts?
In case you didn’t know, Telegram and Signal have this option to let you know when someone in your contact list joins these platforms. Initially, this sounds like a useful feature. I mean, it’s good to know who all you can message via Telegram or Signal, right? It’s also good to know that a friend of yours has joined the platform and that you don’t need to rely on the not-so-privacy-friendly WhatsApp to keep in touch with them. Both these apps have had the feature from their very beginning.
The problem now is that so many people are joining these platforms. Due to WhatsApp’s privacy concerns and its involvement with Facebook’s policies, many people are shifting to Telegram and Signal. If you have quite a few people on the contact list, it’s no biggie. However, if you have many contacts, you will see these notifications every time one of them joins the platform. For someone who has thousands of people on their contact list, this means a situation with the bombarding number of Signal and Telegram notifications.
The worst part? These notifications are enabled by default on Telegram and Signal. Therefore, you have to turn off this feature manually. Don’t worry; it’s no challenging task. In this article, we have listed the easiest way to stop getting new friends joined alerts on Signal and Telegram. Keep in mind that we are talking about the push notifications here. You’ll still see the alert when you open the Telegram/Signal app.
