Telegram has more interesting functions than WhatsApp. The latest update of the messaging app is full of new features. The main one, the possibility of separating the chats by folders. In this way, we can have separate conversations about work and family and friends. Also groups, channels or Bots. Do you want to use this function? Here I show you step by step how to create folders to organize your conversations on Telegram.
First of all, you will need to update the Telegram application. Version 6.0, which is the one that receives this feature, can already be downloaded on Google Play or the App Store. In the event that it does not appear, you can download the latest APK Here.
Once the application has been updated, access the side menu and click on 'Settings'. There will appear a new option called 'Folders'. Select ‘Create new folder’. Here you can choose the name. Remember that this folder will appear on the main page of Telegram, so it is best that you put a suitable one. For example, if you are going to select all chats related to work, name it 'Work'. If, on the contrary, you are going to put the bots that show news, put a related name.
Add or remove contacts from folders
To add chats and contacts, click on the option that says 'Add Chats'. Then choose which contacts you want to appear in the window. Click on ‘Save’ when you have finished choosing the conversations. In the event that you want to delete a contact or conversation, you must select it in the last option, the one that says 'Excluded Chats'.
Now, on the main page of Telegram the folder you have configured will appear There you can have a preview of all the selected chats. Unfortunately, they cannot be removed from the 'All' section. However, adding folders allows you to keep conversations more organized.
Do you want to change the order of the categories? To do this, go to Settings > Folders. Drag the category from the double line button that appears in the left area. To delete a folder, tap on the 3 dots and select 'Delete'. This option does not delete conversations, so they will still appear in the 'All' section.
