Switch to signal or telegram? If so, you may have received notifications from these messaging apps to warn you that your friends have joined as well. Since many people migrate to Signal or Telegram, it’s a little annoying to see new friends on screen. You will be notified when someone stored in your contact list is a new Signal or Telegram user. Fortunately, both platforms offer you the option to disable these alerts on your phone.
All you have to do is turn off the ‘Contact Us’ option from the Settings section. If you are still looking for this option, follow the steps below to disable the option for new friends. If you do not want to disable the option, you can only archive the chats when you receive the alert. With the messaging apps, you can delete chats at any time. You will find the archived chats at the end of all chats. All you have to do is tap on the ‘Archived’ option to see what all the chats you have archived are.
