[Feature Request] Completely ignore notifications for selected chats

[Zeeex]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

There is no option to fully prevent some chats from making notification badges in taskbar and tray icon. (Without disabling global notification badges). Also I need to have notification badges for some muted chats, so that option is not viable

I'm on Win10

Describe the solution you'd like

One of the suggestions below would suffice. (Sorted from most favorable)

1. A per chat option to disable notification badges,
2. Make that the archived chats don't make badges,
3. Maybe some kind of "void" folder for chat/s that we want completely ignored

Describe alternatives you've considered

None of the alternatives is what I need, but here they are:

• Exiting that (group) chat,
• Disabling notification badges for every chat,
• Disabling notifications for muted chats only,

Additional context

Thanks for the wonderful app BTW! 😊💙

I've also been annoyed by this. In the web client, the badge only counts non-archived chats, but the desktop client counts them too. I'm in a few big channels that have hundreds of messages per day. I archived them, so I only see them when I want to. I normally use the badge to see if I received an important message, but as all those unimportant messages from archived chats flood in, the badge is rendered useless.

+1 for "Make that the archived chats don't make badges,"

I have a muted chat in archive and its unread messages are shown in the badge and always take my attention otherwise, the number would be 0 and the red dot would disappear

Please do this. It takes a lot of time to read muted chats. I want to see the number on the telegram icon only for important chats, but i don't want to enable real notifications for them

Good idea. I have a folder for non-contact chats. I do this because TG does not have a "block DMs from non-contacts" options, which would reduce spam by 100% for me. At least I would like everything that goes there to die and not demand my attention to mark it read.

It has been a year, yet we observe no signs of progress. 😢

@john-preston Apologies for reaching out in this manner, but could you provide any information regarding when or if this issue will be resolved?

@Zeeex I didn't have any plans for such changes right now.
