Option to hide the badge count of unread messages in muted chats

[tonysung]

This is already done on desktop per https://github.com/overtake/telegram/issues/141 .

Should do the same on iOS.

+1 I'd sugest and option to completely disable notifications from muted chats (badge numbers are also set by push notifications, if I'm not mistaken), so they won't drain my battery.

[etonline]

Is it the default for muted supergroup? on my device, muted supergroup doesn't count into badge numbers, and I actually want it to be counted... :(

[dotKirk]

+1 Dear god please. I've had to leave so many groups because I can't handle the ever-increasing badge count.

Doesn't look really complicated:

Telegram/Telegraph/TGAppDelegate.mm

Line 797 in 58ce610

int unreadCount = [TGDatabaseInstance() databaseState].unreadCount;

It's already been implemented in the OS X Version:
https://github.com/overtake/telegram/issues/141#

+1 from me as well. I like having the notification bubble on iOS for things that still need my attention. If I've muted a chat, I've decided that unless I'm notified directly (via reply or mention) that I don't need to pay attention to every unread message for that chat. Without this feature, the notification bubble no longer has any importance, and I can't tell if I need to reply to someone or not.

Being able to mute chats without also having them excluded from the unread badge counter makes the badge rather useless indeed, especially since the functionality itself is already available in clients on for other platforms as mentioned above.

Telegram has quickly replaced text messaging as my way of communicating with friends and family, but now one of the volunteer organizations I help run has decided to use Telegram for communication.

Now my badge counter is permanently in the high hundreds, and I can't really tell when someone is actually trying to get ahold of me. This is getting to a point where I may have to stop using Telegram for anything important.

It is still the issue here :( I mean I still has a problem with it and to be honest I have no idea why it is so complicated to implement so useful bug.

It is very annoying. Already thinking to either uninstall the app or disable Badge Icon (iOS). Both solutions are bad.

[barsukov]

I am simply disabled the badge for app. We will see hopefully they will fix it for ios10 update.

[iamDecode]

+1, please, this is currently making Telegram unusable for me..

[r3nya]

@iamDecode and all … Now everything is ok for me. Please check. :)

[iamDecode]

@r3nya What do you mean? Version 3.13 (current App Store version) nor this repo have solved this issue.

[audiocommander]

@r3nya nice that everything is ok for you, I can't see any update or fix or new setting.
I basically stopped using telegram for other communications than group chats and disabled the badge setting. So, currently Telegram is one of the most unreliable ways to contact me and the reason is this annoying issue. Telegram would be the best messenger ever if it just got the notifications right. I mean, notifications are one of the most essential aspects of a messenger...

[r3nya]

Ah, damn … Sorry guys. I mean version for iOS.
@iamDecode @audiocommander

[audiocommander]

yes, we're talking about the iOS version? as iamDecode said, there's no fix - or do you have different informations?

[r3nya]

@audiocommander yes. I has a lot of muted chats … And my telegram icon without badge. Strange. :)

[pochemuto]

@r3nya so have I. I had received a lot of messages today and badges and notifications appeared only from unmated chats.
iOS version 3.13

Just switched to iOS. This is really awkward not having the the option to leave out notifications from muted chats! And since this issue was opened two years ago already, seems there's lack of interest to implement this feature.

+1 to suggestion anyway

The numbers get so high, that it can't even display the whole number, tens of thousands. What's the point of that?

Please implement this, it's so annoying to not be able to tell if I need to read a message or not...

[scarlehoff]

If Telegram wants to be an usable app in ios, it should fix this. It’s stupid.

[ce1]

Not sure if it's just me but there is an option in settings to "Include muted chats in unread count" which is enabled by default. If you unselect this, seems to be working fine.

@ce1 where exactly do you find this option?
I’m looking in settings > notificationd and sounds but cannot see it?

[Gryzor]

@joolsmtw Do you realize this is about Telegram for iOS and not macOS, right? The shot you posted is from the Desktop Client.

[joolsmtw]

@Gryzor tru. My bad.

[jpottaway]

Thought I was going mad and missing a feature! This thread is a relief and a massive frustration. 2 years!! Def only effects some muted groups, as previously mentioned groups/supergroups. Makes the badge useless once a critical mass of muted groups is reached.

Hate to say it, but Hangouts does it better. (Shudder)

Please refrain from leaving ±1 comments with no substantial argumentation; use the GitHub emoji reactions instead. Otherwise, bugmail becomes very spammy. (I know that this comment will contribute to the spamminess as well. Sorry.)

[jerrygreen]

Is this a problem for 2 years? Lol. I cant use these chats because of this

Unread quantity digit is too annoying, should be able to be disabled

[oh6fub]

I switched to Telegram X too. Not sure what the downsides will be, but at least I got rid of this annoyance.

Unusable application. After seeing this two year old issue with so many pluses, i’ve decided to quit telegram.

[diegoadrada]

Still nothing, this is really really annoying.

[pedrotambo]

Still nothing, this is really really annoying.

As ce1 already said, this problem has been solved. Settings > Include muted chats in unread count -> Uncheck

Only thing that is the option on the desktop client, this thread is about the iPhone (iOS) client. Still no way to do that

[YuppY]

It was fixed with latest update 5.0.8:

Telegram X has this option too:

[jerrygreen]

Hooray, they eventually did this!

P.S. Waited a year for this ;)
