Switched to signal or telegram? If so, then you may have received some notifications from these messaging apps, alerting you that your friends have also joined. As many people are switching to Signal or Telegram, it is a bit annoying to receive alerts from new friends at the top of the screen. You are notified when someone who is stored in your contact list is a new Signal or Telegram user. Fortunately, both platforms offer the option to disable these alerts on your phone.
All you have to do is turn off the ‘Contact us’ option in the settings section. If you are still looking for this option, follow the steps below to disable the option for new friends joined. If you don’t want to disable the option, just archive the chats whenever you receive the alert. Messaging apps let you uncheck chats whenever you want. You will find archived chats at the end of all chats. Then just tap on the ‘Archived’ option to see what all the chats have archived.
