Option to disable mobile sound/vibration notifications when using Desktop #277

Hi, when using Telegram Desktop is it possible to silence out the notifications on the phone?
There are no notifications on the phone, actually they are dismissed successfully, but for every received message I hear the sound/vibration (sometimes it is cut out in the half, as it has been "cancelled").

That is possible and yes this is definitely needed. Its pretty annoying...

Yeah this is definitely a much needed thing. If it could be made in way like Facebook Messenger where it somehow knows when you were last active in the webbrowser rather than the app on the phone then avoids notifying on the phone. Right now Ive made a tasker script on my android that i can quickly enable to toggle telegram notifications, but still...

Right now there is a dirty workaround by muting the conversation on the phone for 1 hour, but we still need a good solution like Kocayine proposed.

Any feedback if the devs see this as a high priority change? I think many users do...

+1 but only if it's optional (Sometimes I don't turn off my office PC and just lock screen, so telegram stays open)
By the way, curently, if tdesktop is in focus, my phone recieves notification and dismisses it almost instantly. So instead of 'bzzzzzzzzz' it only makes 'bz' (idk how to explain it more correctly)

@Katzen-Gott My device (Nexus 5, Android 5.0.1) usually buzzes fully still, and is probably only 7/10 for dismissing notifications when the desktop application has focus or is focused (on WiFi or a solid mobile data connection, even), but even with short buzzes it can get annoying if you get a flurry of messages.
That said, I totally agree that it should be an optional feature. 👍

In "Line" it works in a way that if you are active in your Desktop computer, notifications get disabled in your phone. If you're away from your computer, 5 minutes later notifications start to come into the phone.

@kireledan

wouldn't this involve making a modification to the mobile app as well?

@joshsleeper

@kireledan You're totally right.
Let's bring @DrKLO and @telegramdesktop attention to this!

Any chance this kind of presence detection could be added in?
I'd love to automatically silence the vibration+sound on mobile when I've been actively chatting on desktop and vice-versa for desktop sounds when chatting on mobile.
In my opinion this is one of the best features desktop+mobile chat programs can have! 😄

@Katzen-Gott

@kireledan @joshery420 It looks more like a server thing. Or even overall. At least on iOS, there is the push thing. And I'm not sure, that app can do anything with phone behaviour on pushes. And there is similar thing for androids (google push?), which shoud be considered as well...

@joshsleeper
Copy link

@Katzen-Gott Oh there's definitely a server component to getting this working well. I wasn't trying to imply it was all inside the apps. 😄 I'm sure the mobile apps are using push notifications, but the apps still have to be setup to handle those notifications and they can adjust how they handle them based on other conditions (there's already a wide variety of notification settings on mobile, even)

I guess the ideal for me would be that if you're considered "present" on the desktop, mobile notifications would still show (until you viewed the message somewhere, of course) but wouldn't vibrate or make sound.
Likewise, if you were considered "present" on mobile the desktop app would show the popups in the corner (maybe?) but not make any sound.

This allows for easy switching between devices/platforms because the notifications are still visible, but not constantly buzzing the phone in my pocket when I chat on desktop or spam ding sounds through my desktop speakers just because I reply on my phone and don't have the desktop app focused.

For the record, my experience is based on the Windows desktop client and the Android mobile app.

@joshery420 I totally agree with you.

Any update on this? Its driving my insane. I'm now trying to manually disable the mobile session from my desktop app settings. Maybe that will mute the notifications. Still needs me to re-login on my phone when I go away from the pc. Very annoying.

@dylanhanning

@Paratron I usually turn off notifications within the mobile app when I'm at my computer. Works, but can be a bit frustrating if you're doing it often.

@Paratron
Copy link

Yeah, I did the same now, too. The session cancelling was a bit overkill :)

This should soon be done right? :-)

Smart Notifications
Tired of buzzing notifications from active group chats? Sick of multiple notifications every time somebody forwards you a dozen messages? Getting notifications on mobile while chatting with the same person from your desktop? Fixed! Starting today, you will be notified only when it is necessary.

When you are using the Desktop app and you mark the messages as "read" with the Desktop app, your phone stays quiet.

So it seems that this was sadly not part of the "Smart notifications" update :-/

@fyahfox

fyahfox commented May 18, 2015

No idea what you are talking about.

Current version has "smart notifications" (set max. x notifications in y minutes) and the phone stays quiet when you are in a conversation on the desktop app.

@darknight7
Copy link

That's correct but only if the desktop app has focus.
I think the problem is all there: different opinions on what "in a conversation on the desktop" ultimately means.

@N0x1k

N0x1k commented May 18, 2015

Oh I didn't even notice that I don't get notifications on the phone when the app is in focus on desktop, because I always do other stuff on the PC, that way the app is never in focus when I'm chatting with someone.

@Paratron
Copy link

That definitely needs a fix. I think you can assume to be in a conversion on the desktop if the mobile is locked and the mouse + keyboard is used on desktop, even if the app is NOT focused.

@SH-Andre

The developers should probably take a look at how Slack works:

  •      If desktop app is active: first notify in desktop app
    
  •      If message(s) unread after X (like 30) seconds: notify in mobile app
    
  •      On top of that (this would probably be bogus for Telegram): if still unread in mobile app, it sends an email notification
    

If would be even nicer if it also had some options for customization (for example: how long to wait before notifying in mobile app). And it could also account for whether or not there is any activity on the desktop in general – because if the desktop is completely idle, then the notification could go straight to mobile.

That's exactly what is on the last comment that I think should be implemented. And this "X minutes" can be configured by the user. He spoke all.

+1 from me too. Also have to keep asking a colleague to stop his phone vibrating while he's using telegram desktop as it just constantly buzzing away in our office while he has his headphones on

Jamesits commented Jul 8, 2015

I think this is possible: when a message comes in, first send notifications to currently active device or the last active device. If in 30secs the message is still unread, send notifications to every device.

Why has this not been implemented yet? This problem is extremely irritating and makes chatting on Telegram a chore. I usually tell people to message me on other platforms instead when I'm on my desktop.

I dont think anyone from telegram is even reading this... i've had a load
of +1 emails but no comment from a telegram developer. Please someone take
a look... a lot of people are asking for this to be fixed.

Is there any news about when this will be fixed?

We should collaborate and spam this message everywhere: creating hundreds of this issues, pull requests, commentaries, if you'll stay quiet nothing will change

if you do that be sure i will report you to github.

I'm not with megapro17 but if I understood the problem correctly, shouldn't this be fixed in the server side which is not gonna be open sourced by telegram yet?

Came here to post the same damn thing, only to find it's never been implemented. I only started using Telegram on my phone recently, but the notifications are the incredibly fucking annoying; why the hell do they need to take up half the screen, and aren't actual proper Android notifications (so I can't control them, and they don't appear in the notification drawer)?

I don't mind the notifications on my desktop computer because they're tiny and out of the way, but on the phone they are just far too disruptive.

On the plus side I've found one easy way to disable Telegram notifications on my phone only; uninstall Telegram from my phone.
