You have launched the bot in Telegram and left, but after a while, it started spamming you with messages. Sounds familiar?
If yes, then in this article, we will show you how to manage bot notifications properly and disable annoying bots forever.
A chatbot is pretty much like an application on your phone. We discussed this in our previous article.
In most cases, the notifications you receive from chatbots tell you about important updates. For example, your order completed or a character in the game has reached a new level.
But sometimes, developers fall for notifications, and they start being annoying. Refer to the “Configuring Notifications” section below to learn how to deal with this.
The second typical case is advertising messages. It is no secret that to maintain the bot and improve it further, the owners have to bear the costs of infrastructure, salaries, rent, etc. If the bot is free of charge, most of the developers resort to the adware model, when users receive ads from time to time. In most applications, this is a reasonable compromise. Still, sometimes developers go too far, and advertising begins to shower. Tips from the section “Ad Management” can help with this.
Finally, the third, and the most dangerous, case is hacking and sending false notifications to bot users. It occurs when the bot authorization token leaks and the attacker can take control of the communication channel with users (deface). The “Hacked Bot” chapter will tell you what to do if you encounter this case.
Usually, the following steps are sufficient:
1. Go to the bot
2. Find the page with the notification settings (usually it is located in the Account or Settings section)
3. Select the notifications you want to receive and their frequency
If there is no such page, then do the following:
1.
Find the bot in the chat list
2. Swipe it to the left to reveal the buttons as in the picture below:
3. Tap Mute to put notifications in silent mode
4. Go to the bot page in the Bots Club and leave a comment to the developers about a large number of messages
5. If the developer does not respond for a long time, try to find his contact in the bot description in Telegram and write to him personally
Be polite and constructive — often, the bot owners will be happy to help you and gain your trust.
Advertising can be annoying; it’s true. However, try to keep your cool and follow these steps:
1. Put the bot in muted mode, as described above
2. Leave a review with a low rating on the bot page in Bots Club. The dynamics of the app rating is a very significant factor for developers, and its sharp decrease will attract their attention
3.
If the problem has been resolved, do not forget to thank and give a good rating
If it seemed to you that the bot does not look the same as always, and someone hacked it, then here’s what you need to do:
1. Stop using the bot and put it in muted mode
2. Check the release notes and comments from other users on the bot page in the Bots Club — perhaps the developers just rolled out a major update
3. If suspicions persist, leave feedback to the developers — this way, you will warn other users and give a timely signal
Most importantly, remember that if a bot is defaced, it will not be able to receive more information from you than you provide yourself. It means, at the slightest suspicion, immediately stop using the bot and notify developers!
If you nevertheless decide to end your relationship with the bot, stop it and remove it from your chat list, then here’s what you need to do:
1.
Ask bot support to delete your account. If it’s operated from the EU, they are obliged to do so by law.
2. Find the bot in the chat list, swipe left and tap Delete
3. Choose Delete and Stop
After 5 seconds, the bot will be permanently stopped, and the chat history with it will be removed.
⚠️ However, it is crucial to understand that:
1. Message history can remain on servers of the bot developers
2. If you have not deleted your account via the support, then when you re-launch the bot, it may “recognize” you and, most probably, will continue from the point at which you stopped
• Find a bot in the chat list
• Swipe left
• Select Delete
• Tap Delete and Stop
• Leave a review about the bot on Bots Club

A recent creation by Pavel Durov, the Telegram messenger is rapidly gaining popularity, and millions of users have already appreciated the convenience of working with the application. In addition to the ability to communicate, transfer information between people, files (and of considerable size), the service is equipped with a large number of useful tools, including bots that help solve various problems, save time searching for information, making life easier for a person.
Special accounts of the popular Telegram application are created to help the user or entertain. They serve to collect thematic information, which is then issued upon request, perform various useful functions depending on the direction, or simply help pass the time in an interesting way.
Some robots even mimic live communication.
Many companies create and use Telegram bots to enhance customer communication. Informing users on various issues in a robotic mode significantly reduces time costs. Anyone can create their own bots in a programming language or with the help of another @BotFather robot. A special Telegram account can be both primitive and equipped with a wide range of functions. It all depends on its theme and quality of performance.
When a user has acquired a large number of bots and does not use some of them, the question arises of deleting some of the unnecessary accounts. A virtual assistant may simply get bored, or its subject matter is no longer relevant for the user at the moment. In addition, some robots can become tools of intruders, then their removal becomes a completely logical and even mandatory action on the part of the owner of the Telegram profile.
Consider two options when a user wants to remove his own bot from the system or simply remove a boring account from the contact list.
