Telegram Filtering on iOS: Tips and Tricks
Tips and Tricks for Telegram Filtering on iOS
Got a lot of chats on Telegram and feeling overwhelmed? Try these handy tips and tricks to keep your chats organized and make sure you never miss an important message again.
Setting Up Filters
First off, you need to know how to set up filters. Head over to the Settings of Telegram and tap on Chats. From there, go to Filters and you'll see a list of all your chats.
To create a new filter, tap the + icon. You can choose to filter by Group, Channel, or Bot. Select the type of chat you want and then choose the criteria for the filter. You can set it to show only messages from specific users, or to only show messages containing certain words or phrases.
Once you've set up your filter, don't forget to give it a name so you know what it does! You can always go back and edit or delete filters that you no longer need.
Using Filters to Organize Chats
Filters are not just for finding messages, they can also help you organize your chats. For example, if you are in multiple groups related to your job, you can create a filter that shows messages from all those groups. This way, you can easily switch to a single chat tab that covers all your professional conversations, making it easier to manage.
Another way to use filters is to create a personalized tab. Maybe there are a few chats that you check very frequently, like your close friends or family. You can create a personal tab that only shows messages from those specific chats. This can be really useful if you want to quickly check in on your favorite chats without scrolling through all your other conversations.
Using Filters to Prioritize Messages
Filters can also help you prioritize messages. If you are in a lot of groups and channels, it's easy to miss important announcements or updates. By setting up filters for important keywords or phrases, you can make sure those messages are always at the top of your chat list.
Say you are part of several tech forums, and you want to see all messages containing the word "new release". Set up a filter with that keyword and you’ll always know when a new product or update is announced. It's like having a personal assistant who keeps an eye on all your chats for you.
Using Filters for Privacy
Filters can also be used for privacy. If you are part of a group where you don't want to see all the messages, but only the ones that are important or relevant to you, you can set up a filter to show only those messages. This means you can stay in the group without feeling overwhelmed by unnecessary messages.
Knowing When a Filter Matches a Message
When a filter matches a message, Telegram will show a special icon next to the chat in the chat list. This icon will be different for each filter you set up, making it easy to identify which filter a message matches. It's a great way to quickly spot important messages without having to open each chat.
Final Thoughts
Filters in Telegram on iOS are a powerful tool for keeping your chats organized and relevant. Whether you're managing work-related chats or personal conversations, taking the time to set up a few filters can make your experience much smoother. Happy filtering!
