Telegram has positioned itself as a safe and secure messaging app. Although your messages should be protected from modern security threats, you might have other privacy concerns. Whether you’d like to protect your messages from prying eyes or simply clean up your chat list, there are several ways to go about it.
Keep reading to learn how you can hide a Telegram chat without having to delete it.
When choosing the best route for hiding a Telegram chat, consider what you’d like to conceal. There are ways to hide previous conversations you no longer want anyone to see or individual messages within a conversation.
Archiving conversations on Telegram is the quickest way to organize your chats and remove inactive conversations. You can also archive chats to stop anyone from seeing them and ensure they don’t reappear when you receive a new message. Telegram lets you archive messages using two methods.
If you’d like to archive a single chat, group, or channel, you can do so in two simple steps:
Although you could repeat these two steps for every chat you’d like to archive, the second method is quicker and more convenient. To archive multiple conversations at once, do the following:
The selected chats will be filed in the “Archived Chats” folder. The folder will be pinned on top of your conversations. If you’d like to hide the folder, follow these steps:
Now that you’ve hidden your chats, you might want to ensure they stay hidden. If you receive a new message in one of your archived chats, the conversation will reappear on the “Chats” screen. Only a muted conversation will stay hidden for as long as you like.
Here’s how to mute a conversation:
If you’d like to disable notifications for that conversation permanently, choose the “Mute Forever” option.
Telegram introduced the Saved Messages feature to help you bookmark important messages. However, you can also use it to hide individual messages from a conversation.
The chosen message will be sent away to a separate “Saved Messages” folder. But the message will also stay in the original chat unless you delete it. Follow these steps to delete a message:
After choosing who to delete the message for, it will be hidden from your conversation. If you’d like to reread it, visit the “Saved Messages” folder at the top of your screen. Although you can’t hide this folder or retrieve the messages from it, it’s the only way to hide individual messages from a chat.
If you’re fond of using Telegram, you know that conversations can pile up quickly. Hiding them can help you restore order to your chat list, prioritize active conversations, and take care of your privacy concerns. You can choose between hiding chats one by one or in bulk, and whole conversation or only select messages.
Although Telegram introduced the Archive feature to help users organize their active and inactive conversations, it can also serve as an excellent privacy tool.
There are two ways to archive a Telegram chat. You can use the first when you want to archive an individual conversation or group.
However, swiping will not work for archiving if you’ve set up Telegram folders on your Android. Additionally, you might want to archive multiple conversations at once. If that’s the case, the second method might serve you better.
The “Archived Chats” folder will pop up on top of your chats. You can hide the folder by swiping left on it or pressing and holding until the “Hide above the list” option appears.
Your chats have now been safely tucked away, but not for long. A new message will take the conversation from the “Archived Chats” folder back to your regular chats. The only way to ensure an archived chat will stay hidden for as long as you like is to mute it.
Here’s how to disable notifications for a Telegram chat on your Android:
If you want your chat to stay hidden forever, choose the “Disable” option.
Saved Messages is a helpful Telegram feature that allows you to save individual messages to a separate folder. You can use it to your advantage if you’d like to hide only some messages and not the entire conversation.
Follow these steps to save a Telegram message:
Once you’ve moved the message to the “Saved Messages” folder, you can delete it from the original conversation. To delete a Telegram message:
Note that you can neither move the saved message back to the conversation nor hide the “Saved Messages” folder.
Telegram stands out among its rivals as a cloud-based messenger app, meaning your chats sync across your devices. If you’ve taken steps to hide your conversations on your mobile app, your desktop app will follow suit.
In case you’re only using Telegram on your PC, you can still hide as many chats as you’d like by archiving them.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re using the Telegram app or Telegram Web, you can archive chats on your PC in two easy steps:
The conversation will move to the “Archived chats” folder at the top of your chats on the left panel.
Remember that the chat will stay archived until you receive a message. If you’re anticipating new messages you wish to remain hidden in a chat, your best option is to mute that conversation.
If you don’t want to deal with the chat again, set the mute duration to “Forever.”
Although deleting a chat is always an option, you may want to retain a conversation, but keep it out of your way. This guide has shown you how to hide an entire Telegram conversation or individual messages in a few taps and swipes. Give it a try and keep your account organized and your mind at ease.

At the beginning of May, a new regular update for the popular Telegram messenger was released, which brought interesting innovations. We tell you what an ordinary user can take from the update both on the mobile version and on the computer client.
An active user has a large number of groups, bots and channels. Chats are obviously bombarded with notifications, so users turn them off. nine0049 Now favorite channels can be easily archived, that is, hidden. The function is useful if the content of the group is useful and you do not want to permanently delete it. But even with notifications turned off, the channels are an eyesore with numerous unread messages.
New features allow you to save such chats, but at the same time keep only the most important.
The main innovation in the update is channel archiving, which performs the function of hiding the chat from the general list of dialogs. nine0048 In order to activate the new option, you need:
Notably, if notifications are not disabled on archived chats, they automatically return to the general list when a new message arrives. This does not happen if alerts are disabled, in which case channels do not leave this folder.
In fact, this tab is the same list of dialogs - here you can also pin and unpin your favorite groups. nine0006
Above, instructions were written for mobile versions of Telegram, what should those who use the desktop client do? It is also enough to run the program and click on the dialog with the right mouse button - exactly the same corresponding menu will appear.
This option also allows you to hide unwanted chat notifications (pin, unpin and delete) with almost one click without having to select each conversation individually. The innovation, however, affected only users of smartphones on the Android platform. nine0049
Just select one of the dialogs and hold it down with your finger, the notifications of which you want to remove, or delete the channel, or prioritize over other groups.
Then just check the boxes for all other chats and choose from the list of possible actions in the list above.
Also in the section "Contacts" there is an opportunity to see users online. Previously, you had to enter the dialogue yourself and check if the selected contact is online. nine0006
Now Telegram can be blocked with a six-digit password. On Android devices, third-party applications were previously installed separately, but on iOS this possibility is not provided.
In addition, the application icon has been updated, a three-line display of messages has appeared, the removal of recently used stickers, and the send text button has shifted slightly.
To get all of the above features, you need to upgrade to version 5.6 on both iOS and Android systems. nine0006
mobcompany.info
You can solve this problem by simply enabling the "Working Mode" in the application. Relevant only for desktop versions.
In this mode, all chats, notifications from which are hidden, will not be shown in the main list. nine0006
In order to activate the operating mode, do the following:
When there are really many channels to which you are subscribed, it again looks like a dump. There is an easy way to solve this problem.
Telegram now has a lot of bots aggregating messages from channels.
As an example, we can take Vestnik.
This is a simple aggregator with intuitive controls.
Just add the channels you want to receive messages from and you can delete them (may the admins forgive me). nine0006
However, it is worth considering that messages from channels arrive with a slight delay, so we advise you to stay in your favorite and important channels, which you follow especially carefully.
Setting up the Messenger is quite simple:
Launch the bot and send it messages from the channels you want to add to it.
Additional traffic sources for the channel is always nice. This is something for which it is worth taking a little steam and here, as usual, the almighty Yandex comes to the rescue. nine0006
Many of you have heard about the Yandex Zen news platform. In addition to directly sending an rss feed there from your site, you can use this site without it.
If you do not have your own promoted site, you can create a channel directly in Zen and use it as a replacement for Telegra.
ph
This way you will get an additional audience from Yandex directly to your channel.
Plus, when you reach a certain number of Zen views, you can also monetize well. nine0006
We hope our advice will help you a little in using Telegram (rhyme +100). Make only quality content for your channels and use Telegram to the fullest.

An active Telegram user always has a very large list of added groups and channels. It is logical that for some publics you turn off notifications. But there are a lot of such groups, so it will be useful to know how to hide a chat in Telegram. nine0006
Let's first explain how to disable notifications.
In the same way, you can turn notifications back on:
In this case, all groups and channels remain in the general list of all added ones. nine0006
Now let's learn how to make a hidden chat in Telegram.
Important! Do not confuse hiding notifications with secret chats. The latter are displayed in general conversations.
This mode is designed to hide conversations.
The convenience of using WorkMode is that you only have Important publics, it is easier for you to navigate among the rest, and you can always return these conversations.
nine0006
The only disadvantage of this method is that it works only in the desktop version of the messenger, the mobile version simply does not have such a function. And, if you hide conversations on a PC, they will remain in the list on a mobile device. Let's hope that this feature will be implemented on mobile platforms.
The WorkMode function is disabled in the same way as it is enabled - enter WorkMode in the settings, click OK, and the Telegram application restarts without this function.

Messengers have become an integral part of our lives. However, they hide a lot more than just messaging. About the little-known functions and tricks of Telegram writes "Lifehacker".
1. Saving important things in "Favorites"
Not everyone knows that the "Favorites" section allows you to send messages to yourself. With it, you can conveniently transfer files, photos and simple links from your computer to your smartphone.
This section can act as a common clipboard for all devices where you use Telegram. nine0144 Also, with its help, you can quickly save interesting entries from Telegram channels. To do this, in the desired post, click on the repost arrow and select "Favorites" from the list of options. This is a convenient way to return to what you just do not have time to read now.
2. Reading messages invisibly
As soon as you open a new message, the sender will see a note in the chat that it has been viewed. The mobile version of Telegram has a trick that allows you to read messages without your interlocutor noticing. nine0144 Immediately after receiving a message, do not open it and turn on airplane mode on your smartphone. Then open the message, read it and close Telegram by unloading it from memory. After the flight mode, you can turn off and restart the application. If everything is done correctly, the interlocutor will not see that you have viewed his message.
3. Viewing video in picture-in-picture mode
In the mobile version of the messenger, YouTube videos can be watched directly in the chat - just click on the preview image that is displayed next to the link.
Not everyone knows that you can also play videos in picture-in-picture mode, that is, in a small window on top of all chats. nine0144 To do this, launch the video in Telegram and click on the icon with a filled rectangle in the frame below it. The window that appears can be dragged, but its size is always fixed.
This mode allows you to watch videos and chat with friends at the same time. It will be especially useful in cases where the sound is more important to you than the picture itself, since on small screens the video window will be quite small.
4. Replying to a message in a pop-up notification
To not expand the application to reply to each new message, you can use the reply function directly in the notification. That is, a message with a typing area will be displayed directly on top of other programs and desktops. nine0144 To activate this feature, find the notifications and sounds section in the settings, and there - "Pop-up notifications". If you select the "Always show" value, then the new message will make itself felt even when the screen is turned off or locked.
5. Recording an audio message without holding the button
To record an audio message in the mobile version of Telegram in the selected chat, you need to hold down the microphone icon. This is no secret to anyone. However, not everyone knows that if, after pressing the microphone, you do not remove your finger and pull it up, then the recording will continue automatically. This is very useful when creating long audio messages. nine0144 6. Automatic recording of an audio message
There is another way to quickly record a voice message: you just need to open the desired chat and bring your smartphone to your ear. The device screen will turn off and automatic recording will start.
If the feature doesn't work, it might just be disabled in the Telegram settings. Check the "Record voice when approaching" toggle.
7. Create and send GIF-animation
The mobile version of Telegram has a video sending function. It allows you to quickly shoot a video, trim it if necessary, select the quality and send it to the chat.
The result is a video file in MP4 format that starts when clicked. nine0144 If, when creating a video, in the trim menu, turn off the sound by clicking on the microphone icon, then your recording will be sent to the chat in the form of a GIF. And it will be played automatically in a circle.
8. Apply masks over photos
When sending a photo to Telegram on your smartphone, you can crop the photo, change colors, add a caption, or attach funny mask stickers. It can be a funny wig, beard, glasses, animal ears and more.
To select these "stickers", take a photo using your smartphone's camera in the send message menu. Then, in the editing menu, click on the brush, and then on the mask icon. All stickers offered by the messenger can be rotated and resized. nine0144 9. Protecting chats with a password
This feature allows you to hide correspondence from prying eyes. It will be useful in situations where you can accidentally leave an unlocked smartphone somewhere. With all the desire, without a confirmation code, even the list of chats cannot be opened.
The feature is called "Passcode" and is available in the privacy and security settings. After creating a four-digit password in the chat list at the top, you need to click on the lock icon. Next, you can minimize the application or simply turn off the smartphone screen. When you try to open Telegram again, you will need this password. nine0144 10. Hiding chats with disabled notifications
The list of chats and contacts in Telegram is still not sorted in any way. When new messages come from everywhere, even turning off the notifications of the selected channels no longer saves.
To solve this problem, many are switching to alternative mobile clients such as Plus Messenger. It has separate tabs for chats, channels, bots and other things. This is really convenient, but what about the desktop version? There is a solution for her, and right in the official client. nine0144 Open the settings, turn on the English layout and spell the word workmode. A message should appear asking you to confirm the action.
Then the program will restart and a clickable inscription "Hide chats without notifications" will appear in the list of chats and channels. Clicking on it will hide all chats in which you have turned off notifications.
You can return to the standard view in the same way: by entering the workmode command in the program settings.

From the article you will learn whether it is possible to hide a chat in Telegram and how to make a hidden chat in Telegram on a computer. We will also explain how this feature is useful for users. nine0006
Subscribers - live to the channel, to the group
Views - to posts and videos
Telegram is a social network that is famous for its high security.
It guarantees much more protection for user accounts than other messengers. However, developers never cease to amaze us with their developments, one of which is hidden chats in Telegram. They will be discussed in this article. nine0006
Get subscribers and views to a TG group or to a channel at really inexpensive prices without overpaying a single ruble.
Anyone can add this function. It will be very convenient and necessary for those users who actively use the social network and are listed in a huge number of different groups and channels. It becomes problematic to find the desired public or chat in such a long list. And thanks to the option of hidden groups, you can quickly jump into the desired conversation. nine0006
Of course, you can simply pin the desired groups in the messenger. Then they will always be at the top of the list, regardless of incoming notifications. But if your account has 100 or even 1000 publics and channels, then a dump can form even from pinned chats.
In addition to being able to quickly find important communities, hidden groups give the user something else. He stops receiving endless sound notifications about new messages. Imagine that you are subscribed to a huge number of channels, each of which releases several posts a day and does it at different times of the day. You will be constantly distracted by notifications, thinking that something important has arrived. And the screen of your gadget will be filled with such notifications. In such chaos, it is difficult to keep track of the expected message, and you are very likely to miss the information you need. nine0006
Do not confuse hidden groups with secret chats, they are completely different categories.
The latter are created by suspicious users for confidential correspondence with a double data protection system. They have a maximum of two participants, and they are deleted by a timer or when you log out of your account.
You are probably already interested in how to hide a chat in Telegram. Further in the article, we will consider detailed instructions, and you will be able to make the group hidden on your own. nine0006
For more up-to-date information on using Telegram or other social networks, see the Avi1.ru online platform.
In the first part of the article, we touched on the topic of hidden chats, talked about their key features and benefits for active users of the messenger. Next, you will find out if it is possible to hide a chat in Telegram on mobile devices.
It is quite possible to add a new function and start using it. But not for all devices. This option is currently only available on desktops and laptops.
You can't do this on a phone. And it does not matter at all what operating system your smartphone has - IOS or Android. For them, this function, unfortunately, is not yet provided. nine0006
Moreover, even if you hide groups on your computer, when you log into your account from your phone, all hidden chats will be open. Because they can neither enable the function nor use it.
This is extremely inconvenient, but we really hope that developers will come up with something for mobile devices soon. In the meantime, it remains to rejoice at the opportunity to hide chats, at least on a laptop.
Although there are some secrets that allow, if not to hide the chat, then at least to minimize its intrusiveness. If you are tired of the endless rattling of your smartphone and the stream of sound notifications, then you can use the following tips to make your life easier:
Disable sound notifications for less important groups and channels. To do this on an iPhone:
Enter the "Chats" menu;
Open the desired group and click on its name at the top;
Select Mute.
On Android, this option is also located in the chat settings. Go to the group, click on the ellipsis and select the appropriate item. nine0006
By turning off the sound for most publics, you will stop receiving not only sound notifications about new posts. They will also not be displayed on the screen of your smartphone;
Turn off the Internet, then you will not be disturbed by notifications from the messenger. A significant disadvantage of this method is that you will no longer receive them from all applications installed on the phone;
Log out of your Telegram account. Then he will not disturb you with his notifications. At the same time, other messengers will be active. nine0006
So, at the moment there is no clear answer to the question of how to hide chat in Telegram on Android or any other gadget. Use the function on the computer, and use the available life hacks on the phone.
Earlier in the article, we already talked about the fact that it is impossible to create hidden groups on phones and mentioned the availability of this feature on a PC. Read on and we will share how to make a hidden chat in Telegram on a computer and stop receiving a swarm of endless notifications. nine0006
First of all, you will need to install the application on your laptop, if you have not already done so. After all, the option works only in the desktop version of the messenger.
Download the program only on the official website. After you download and install Telegram, log in to your account and get started.
So, we make groups and channels hidden:
In an application that is already open, select all the groups and channels you want to hide and turn off their sound notification. To do this, right-click on the chat and select Mute Notifications.
You can turn them back on in the same way; nine0006
Click on the icon in the form of three horizontal lines in the left corner of the screen;
