Is there a way to display unread message only?

[camagenta]

when some one using telegram with many-many group, sometimes the unread message gradually increased when he can't read all the message. for some people like me, the unread counter a bit annoying :)

So, I'm asking is there a way to short unread message only?

I think this feature is available in gmail using label unread

[auchri]

Your description is very hard to understand. You want to display only unread messages?

[camagenta]

Sorry @auchri for my bad english.

Yes. I just want to display only unread message.

Can we do it in telegram?

[auchri]

Yes, but if you get new messages, the chat stays at the first unread message.

Whats the use case for this feature?

[camagenta]

just like an email @auchri. sometimes we skip a message and it still counted as unread message.

that's a bit annoying to see an unread counted message.
so for quickest way, i think we sort unread massage. and open it one by one.

maybe. marked all as read is needed.

[Aokromes]

I think this is suplicate of this #775 :)

[auchri]

Yes maybe, I'm not sure..

[camagenta]

Hmm, #775 is different with what I mean. But that issue is alot better I think hehe.

Maybe I should give this idea an ilustration.

Too bad, I can't attach a picture using mobile. Insya Allah on Monday I'll upload the screen shoot.

Example case
I subs on 5 telegram bots, more than 10 groups, and lots personal chat. When I'm at work, I can't read all unread message at that time. I must prioritize what I've to read. So the effect is some unread message is still unread and going down with more active conversation

When I going home, I ussually read the rest of unread message. But the problem is some unread message is not at the top of telegram conversation list. So I say about this unread sorting ideas.

Hehe.. Sorry for my bad english :)

[auchri]

Ah I see...so you wanna only display conversations, which have unread messages, in the left column.
All other conversations should be hidden from the left column.

Is that what you trying to say? :)

[camagenta]

nah, Alhamdulillah..
you got my point.
what I really want to do is
type label:unread (or some other command)
the left column is just display the conversation with the unread message

can we do that?

[poooch]

@auchri, so what's the news about it?

[capiscuas]

I also would like this feature, maybe related to #3957 . a way to sort the chats by those that still have pending messages to see.

[kochetkov-av]

Maybe add an option to "Show unread first" in contact list.

[capiscuas]

It could have some time delay, for example, for conversations read after 30min i think the conversation is cold so it can go down the list... if last read msg was less 30min ago(this time could go in preferences), it means that conversation could still be going on.

[skywinder]

Please add an option to show only Unread messages 🔥🔥🔥

[rzahrai]

+1. Add code permitting search similar to Gmails', "is:unread" to show only chats with unread content.

[gernotpokorny]

"+1. Add code permitting search similar to Gmails', "is:unread" to show only chats with unread content."

yep would be defenitely useful

[audreytoskin]

I would prefer to simply sort unread messages at the top of the chat list, under pinned chats.

I also think it would be useful if any chats with saved drafts were also sorted to the top of the chat list, but since since requests to sort unread first have all been marked as duplicates of this issue, I wasn't sure if you'd want a whole separate feature request for this.

[Iamdeadlyz]

Any updates for this one? This would be pretty useful since I also miss some unread messages 👍

[capiscuas]

I still think it would be a great feature. I am always thinking to find another telegram client that may have the option but nothing yet.

[KelvinPac]

2019 and Telegram has no such simple feature. Am finding personal messages buried in a heap of messages a month later. Bring this feature to telegram ASAP

[stek29]

@KelvinPac use workmode

[KelvinPac]

How do I access work mode?

@buylife

1. open settings
2. type "workmode". You just have to type it an tdesktop will ask you to enable it. It's an hidden feature

@KelvinPac it is not available on android

[buylife]

@RememberTheAir is it only available for tdesktop? how about telegram ios?

[RememberTheAir]

@buylife tdesktop only

[oshliaer]

So what is next after workmode? Nothing changes.

[elessarperm]

I would appreciate a gmail inbox-like approach: just optionally show all the unread in a separated block.

[Soleone]

I have hundreds of conversations. I have 4 unread messages somewhere (could be channel announcements or private messages). I have no idea in which conversation the messages are in. I have to carefully scroll through hundreds of contacts and channels to find them.

Why can I not see unread messages at the top or easily via some other filter? Or am i missing something and this is available? Seems like such a basic feature.

Suggestion:

Clicking on the unread notifications button brings me to the "first" (oldest?) message and marks it as read and decrements the counter and then I can keep tapping it to go through all of them.

[RememberTheAir]

@Soleone the app in your screenshot is the iOS app or the native MacOS app, either way not tdesktop

[kiemrong08]

Nicegram IOS App have this feature but telegram desktop doen't. Please add this feature to tdesktop, it very useful.

[ngankt2]

I always see an unread message, but I can't find it

[ginto-sakata]

So can we add this?

[jt3k]

I want the same as others want

[Aokromes]

very likely it will come with folders.

[Aokromes]

implemented on 1.9.22 beta.
