📥 Archived Chats

Chat Folders work best to make some of your chats more visible. If you're looking to hide some of your chats from view, try archiving them instead.
Swipe left on a chat to transfer it to your archived chats folder. Muted chats will stay archived forever.
On Android, if you are already using Folders, swiping will not work for archiving. Instead, you can long press on a chat to open the bulk actions menu where you can select multiple chats and then pin, mute, archive or delete them all at once.

You can hide the archive by swiping left on it. See it again by dragging the screen down.

🗂 Desktop Sync

Like everything on Telegram (except for Secret Chats), your Chat Folders will seamlessly sync to all your other connected apps, including our Desktop Apps.

Thanks to the extra space available on your computer screen, Telegram Desktop added a folder sidebar – as well as some icons to make your folders more recognizable.
