In most messaging apps, managing chats should be the most complex task nowadays. Especially in an app like Telegram, where your chats are not limited to individuals or groups but also to Telegram channels and bots. Telegram certainly acknowledged the need when it introduced the chat directory feature.
Of course, you can pin your favorite chats to make sure you never miss them. But creating chat folders allows you to organize your conversations and categorize them more easily. This article will show you how to create and manage chat folders in the Telegram app. So let’s get started.
How to create a chat folder in Telegram
First, let’s see how to create a chat folder in Telegram. Since the Telegram app works almost the same on all platforms, I’ll use an Android phone to illustrate the process.
Step 1: Open the Telegram app on your phone and use the hamburger menu at the top left to navigate Settings.
Step 2: Now go to Folder option and tap on Create new folder.
Step 3: Next, enter a suitable name for the chat folder and click the Add chat button to start adding chats to your folder.
You can include chats by type or individually. When done, click the check mark to continue.
Step 4: Finally, click the Save button to create the chat folder.
And that’s it. Once created, you will find your chat folder on the main screen of the app. You can repeat the same steps above to create more chat folders in Telegram.
How to add or remove chats from a folder
If you’ve included chats by their type, all conversations that fall under that category will be added automatically. Naturally, you want to add or remove some chats from the folder in the future. Yes, it is quite easy to do so. This is the way.
Step 1: Open Telegram app and navigate to Settings. In there, go to Folder and open your folder to make changes to it.
Step 2: Now tap on Delete Chats option to exclude some chats from your folder.
You can choose to exclude chats that have been Mute, Read, or Archived. Or, you can exclude them individually by selecting them from the list. When done, click the check mark to continue.
Step 3: In the chat folder you will find the deleted chats under Excluded Chats. Finally, tap on the Save option to confirm.
Similarly, you can also add new chats to your folder by tapping on the Add conversation option and selecting new chats from the list.
How to manage chat folders in Telegram
Telegram app shows all chat folders on home page in tab form. You can easily switch between those tabs to access your folders.
In addition, you can also rearrange, edit or delete folder tabs from there.
To change the order of chat folders, long press on any chat folder and select Rearrange from the resulting menu. Now touch and hold the chat folder and move it left or right. Finally, click Done to save the changes.
Similarly, touch and hold on the chat folder tab and select the Edit folder option to modify the folder. This will take you to the edit page. Here you can rename the folder, add or remove chats from the folder, or delete the folder itself.
Bonus: How to Pin a Chat in Telegram
In addition to creating folders, Telegram also allows you to pin certain conversations to folders so your favorite chats don’t get lost in the mess. Pinning chats inside a folder allows you to quickly access chats by keeping them at the top.
To pin a chat in Telegram for Android, touch and hold the chat and use the three-dot menu at the top to select the Pin option.
Similarly, iPhone users can also swipe right on a chat and tap the Pin option to pin the chat.
And that’s how easy it is. Now you’ll always see your pinned chats and channels at the top.
