Related: If you see notifications about people you don't know, please see this card.
When new users from your contact list join Telegram, a notification about this appears in the chat list.
The New Contacts option in Settings > Notifications and Sounds currently determines if you receive a push notification about the 'Contact joined Telegram' message.
Note
Mobile carriers routinely recycle phone numbers that are no longer in use. Telegram has no ways of knowing when a number from your contacts changes hands – and will display it under the name you have saved.
The comment above to the other issue doesn't address the valid bug that even when one disables the `Contact joined Telegram` option, a notification still results and a new chat thread is created on both Android and iOS. It's a bug, but I'm unable to file a new bug here.
