A Quick Start Guide to Filtering on Telegram

Hey there! If you're curious about how to make Telegram a bit more organized, this guide is for you. Filtering messages can save you a lot of time and make sure you don't miss any important stuff. Let's dive in!

Why Should You Filter?

Filtering messages helps you keep up with your important conversations and reduces the clutter in your chat list. It's super handy for those group chats where there's just too much going on.

How to Set Up Filters

Setting up filters is pretty straightforward. Let's say you're part of a group where important updates are mentioned by a specific keyword. Here’s how you can filter those:

• Open the group chat where you want to set up a filter.
• Tap on the three dots (...) at the top of the chat screen.
• Select "Filters".
• Tap on "Add filter".
• Type in a keyword to filter and set up the filter. For example, if you're interested in updates, you can set it to mention "update" or "news".
• Tap "Save" when you're done.

Filtering Out Unnecessary Messages

Filters aren’t just for keeping things organized. You can also use them to get rid of unwanted messages. If there are specific types of messages you don't want to see, like greeting messages or random links, you can filter those out:

• Follow the steps to set up a filter as described above.
• Choose a keyword or phrase that appears in the messages you want to hide. For example, if you're tired of seeing "Happy Birthday" messages, you can set a filter for "Happy Birthday".
• Make sure to choose the "Hide messages" option when setting up your filter.

Managing Your Filters

Once you’ve set up your filters, managing them is equally important. You can always go back and tweak your filters to make sure they’re working just the way you want them to:

• Tapping on "Filters" from the group chat options will let you see all the filters you’ve set up.
• You can edit or delete filters from this menu.
• If you want to apply filters to multiple chats, simply repeat the process in each chat.
