How many of you have Telegram notifications enabled?
We know many people who disabled their entire Telegram notifications from android settings because they dont want to get annoyed for the thousands of groups and channel messages everyday. But what about our Private chats? Why we need to compromise our private chat notifications because of the groups and channels we are part of?
You might think that why dont they mute the groups?
Muting groups are a solution but what about the user who relies Telegram Desktop Workmode feature? The muted chats doesn't list for them, What about the user who only unmutes their favorite groups to identify it from hundreds of other groups?
So we are only left with one solution, mute our chat from android settings and make our private chats notifications compromised.
Lets go through some Telegram X for Android unique notification customization features which will help you to customize the notification the way you want.
