How to Effectively Minimise Nuisance from Telegram Private Message Ads

To minimise nuisance from Telegram private message ads, you can take the following effective measures:

1. Use Telegram's Privacy Settings

Telegram introduced a feature to block private messages in the latest iOS/Android v10.6 (updated: 2024-01-15). Telegram Premium users can configure this by going to: Settings → Privacy → Private Messages → Contacts and Premium.

2. Remove Your Username

Some users have reported that removing or not setting a "username" can reduce the frequency of receiving private message ads. While this won't completely stop private messages, it might make it harder for ad systems to identify you, thus reducing nuisance.

3. Use Channel Identity in Large Groups

When posting in large groups, try to use your "channel identity" to speak. This can lower the chances of being identified by ad bots.

4. Enable Auto-Archiving

Telegram Premium users can enable the "Automatically archive and mute new chats from non-contacts" feature in Settings → Privacy. While you'll still receive ad messages, they will be automatically archived and won't bother you.

5. Hide the Member List

Group administrators can choose to hide the member list. This can effectively reduce nuisance from private message ads and protect the privacy of group members.

By implementing the above measures, you can significantly reduce the nuisance from Telegram private message ads and enhance your user experience.
