Have you switched to Signal or Telegram? If so, you may have received some notifications from these messaging apps, which will let you know that your friends have also joined. Since a lot of people are migrating to Signal or Telegram, it’s a little annoying to get new friends to join alerts at the top of the screen. You will be notified when someone stored in your contact list is a new Signal or Telegram user. Fortunately, both platforms give you the option to turn off these alerts on your phone.
All you have to do is turn off the “Contact users” option in the settings section. If you’re still looking for this option, follow the steps below to disable the join new friends option. If you do not want to disable the option, you can simply archive the chats whenever you receive the alert. Messaging apps let you uncheck chats anytime you want. You’ll find archived chats at the end of all chats. Just tap the “Archived” option to see what all the chats you’ve archived contain.
