Bugs and Suggestions

I will do. I must say, I'm very surprised that this card has so little upvotes... I guess it maybe makes sense, but it reminds me of a political public participation process where there is no visibility, and so nobody comments, and so government does what it likes 😅

I tried in many places to post it. Mostly on large groups. Usually the users that are vulnerable are not the ones that know this suggestions platform exists and don't care to give it a hands up.

We admins of those medium-large communities are the ones that have to push it and to teach new users about this. Telegram is clearly not helping new users that are exploring public groups andare not educated on this topics.

Indeed – and pushing the info out there isn't always helpful, because some people don't even see it before getting scammed.

To add to the underlying suggestion here, I'd like to propose that group owners can also disable the ability for members to see other members’ profiles. Every group is different, and some groups 'invite' more scams/spam than others. While crypto spam is popular, there are other varieties as well, at least in terms of how they initially present.

In my case, I have an army of bots that remove spam and scams using a variety of different methods, but that doesn't stop scammers from changing their tactics. When a network of scammers detect that there is an army of bots, and that army of bots is working, they simply join and DM people. Point is, group owners become aware of this very quickly and they have to start putting pinned announcements in their groups regularly to tell people it's a scam. Why should they have to do that? Would it not be easier to just have a switch in group settings to say "disallow members from seeing other member profiles", or "disallow members from messaging other members directly"? I know it can be tricky, because sometimes you want to allow it. But that’s what exception lists are for.

Doesn't it already exist in telegram?

Read the post. No, and I quote myself in response to your question:

"For example there is a hidden privacy option to Archive and Silence new Private Messages from non-contact users.

It's a step forward but this option only appears if you litterally get bombarded with hundreds of unknown users..."

This is just common sense, and should have been implemented years ago. And the current automatic archiving function only appears in settings when you have reached a certain number or frequency of DMs from unknown persons. Telegram is deciding what level of spam is acceptable, and that is unacceptable. Give the user control over his experience. Simple.

It will also enhance Telegram security since non-contact might have malicious intentions.

So how many of these user ID numbers get assigned for so many throwaway accounts? If and how does that encryption take place if things are unique to each device? That means there's an exchange of data taking place somewhere, no? I'm not savvy at all but something about an IP address seems to come to mind.
