How do you manage notifications in Telegram?

Managing notifications in Telegram can be customized to suit your preferences. Here's how you can manage notifications in Telegram:

1. **Open Telegram Settings**: Start by opening the Telegram app on your device.

2. **Go to Settings**: Tap on the three-line menu icon (hamburger menu) usually located in the top left or top right corner of the app. Then, select "Settings" from the menu.

3. **Notification Settings**:
   - **Notification and Sounds**: Here, you can configure how notifications behave, such as enabling or disabling notification sounds, vibration, and pop-up notifications.
   
   - **Message Notifications**: Customize how you receive notifications for regular chats, groups, and channels. Options typically include turning notifications on or off, selecting the notification tone, and setting vibration patterns.
   
   - **In-App Notifications**: You can choose to show previews of messages in notifications or hide them for privacy.
   
   - **Exceptions**: Telegram allows you to set exceptions for certain chats or groups where you want to receive notifications even if you have globally turned off notifications.

4. **Notification Sound**: You can select a specific sound for Telegram notifications, which can help you distinguish them from other app notifications on your device.

5. **Scheduled Notifications**: Some versions of Telegram offer the ability to schedule Do Not Disturb mode, where notifications are silenced during certain hours.

6. **Desktop Notifications**: If you use Telegram on a desktop app, you can configure notification settings similarly within the desktop app's settings.

7. **Notification Channels (Android)**: On Android devices, Telegram uses notification channels, allowing you to further refine notifications based on their type (messages, calls, media, etc.).

By adjusting these settings, you can tailor Telegram notifications to your liking, ensuring you stay informed without being overwhelmed. Telegram's flexibility in notification management makes it easy to control how and when you receive alerts, enhancing your messaging experience.
