Bugs and Suggestions

Read my last post throughly, it's all written down there.

In your opinion, there already is an available solution, because, "there's bots that can mute them". If this was the case, your argument would also be valid for *private* groups.
But for private groups Telegram already has implemented this feature. So there was need for it.
And if the solution only relying on bots is supposed to be an insufficient workaround for private groups, it's the same for public groups.

Due to this new feature, including an API extension, bots can handle users, that want to join the group *before* they really join it.

Without it, the user already has read access to the content and *first* joins the group.
So *everybody* gets a notification "unwanted user joined the group" *before* the bot can delete the joining message again, mute the user and post some anoying captcha, that every user in the group gets notified about.
This is not straightforward. Notifications to *every* user in the group, that somebody is trying to join are useless and anyoing. And this can be avoided by the new feature. But it's missing in public groups (and geo located groups).

541 users want this feature for all kind of groups, only 23 voted against it.

So what are you refering to, if you say that "*we* don't need such features". The spammers lobbyists? You stand for a minority position here and are trying to bloat it.

So the discussion should not focus on if, but on *how* this feature should be implemented.

Ok. So possible workaround is make a channel and upload the invite link of your private group there so approved people can join your group via global search and I don't think if its needed to implement this feature, if you are running a public group then you should turn off the notification, you need to compromise something to get something I still don't think its a useful feature tho. And people upvotes blindly without knowing the stupidity this card have, I'll be also happy if this is implemented but there are many other features which telegram give priority first. Bcz of stupid peeps like these telegram is turning into social media rather than messaging app. Please stop this

Exactly, it is like we were mentally connected. I gave the same advice about invite link on a public channel and about the fact that this is not a priority feature.

Yep, this is common sense

"Common" sense for two people out of over 542?
"mentally connected" ha ha ha.
Obvious flying monkey and triangulation tactics 😎

Stop spam and scam. Have fun...

They upvoted this before this feature is added for private groups... And first of all I am not spammer/scammer so choose your words wisely

I would like to request an edit to this feature request post. Messages can stay visible for all without any problems. There's no point in asking for messages staying hidden before joining in case of public groups. Let's focus only on having a join request feature... so that admin can exercise discretion whether a person should be allowed entry and whether to grant someone permission to write messages in the group. Also, there's no point in having a join request in case of a public channel.

So join requests for public groups are possible now? 🙄

this card clearly states : "some people would like their groups/channels to be public and have a username but not allow everyone to join."
Such feature is missing, so please remove the "Fixed" tag
