When I'm actively chatting on the desktop app, if I get notifications in another chat, my phone rings for every notification, even though I'm active on the Desktop.
There should be an idle period before the notifications get sent to all devices.
Also if notifications are disabled on the desktop, and I'm active on the desktop, notifications should not be sent to my mobile.
Steps to reproduce
Open any chat, start talking to people.
Receive messages on another chat, and don't open them instantly.
My phone rings for the other chat new message notification.
It should be simple to implement this in Telegram too.

I have been struggling with one problem for a long time, and if on android it is solved with all sorts of crutches, then on the iPhone everything is much sadder. What is the point? I have TG installed on both PC and iPhone, and when I actively chat in TG chat, notifications come to both PC and iPhone (the screen beeps and lights up). Because of what the iPhone is distracting and still quickly discharged

Wonder if we'll ever get an update on this feature. Kind of annoying w/o an idle timeout feature.

It's 2023 now, as a popular message app, I wondered why Telegram doesn't have this BASIC feature, keep receiving notification on mobile when desktop app is executing is REALLLY annoying.
The only sustainable workaround that I use for many years is to force stop the app quickly from recents (in some UI skins and AOSP-based ones there's ability to get into about app page) on Android (seems like there's no direct alternative to such a feature on iOS) to prevent repeated notifications from being distracting, which remains unfixed as of 2025
