Switched to Signal or Telegram? If so, you may have received some notifications from these messaging apps, alerting you that your friends have joined as well. Since many people are migrating to Signal or Telegram, it is a bit of a pain to get new friends at the top of the screen. You will be notified when someone saved in your contact list is a new Signal or Telegram user. Fortunately, both platforms give you the option to disable these alerts on your phone.
All you need to do is turn off the ‘Contact Us’ option from the settings section. If you’re still looking for this option, follow the steps below to turn off the option to add new friends. If you don’t want to turn the option off, you can easily archive the chats when you get the notification. The messaging apps allow you to unarchive chats whenever you want. You will find the archived chats at the end of all chats. All you have to do is tap the ‘Archived’ option to see which chats you have archived.
