An option under Privacy and Security
Once enabled new chats from unknown contacts will have the option to accept or block
Sender: User A
Receiver: User B
User A can initiate a new chat and send unlimited message to User B (No changes from current behavior)
User B receives the new chat (with no messages visible) with options like
Accept:- Accepts the chat. Messages will become visible and marked as read
An optional option to Add to Contacts will be shown
Block:- Adds the user into blocked users list
An optional option to Report spam and Delete Chat will be shown during block
Preview:- An option to preview the messages (Similar to current chat preview). Chat stays in same state
The search bar (on the home screen of Telegram, where all the chats are), which currently occupies the top right side of the screen, could be moved to the sidebar, with text like "Search Telegram" (and it'd fit in with the rest of the option bars in the sidebar), and be replaced with a notification bell, which, when clicked on, opens a separate list of chats, known as the message requests.
All the message requests would be laid out the same way as the main chats are.
[ If you click on a message request, it is opened in Preview Mode, so the person cannot see any read receipts for their messages. ]
Then, in the top right corner of the message requests list, there'd be seperate settings, specifically for message requests, where you could toggle things like whether you want the notification bell to show the number of new message requests that you have or not -as I feel like that could be annoying for some, but useful for others- ; whether you want to get a notification when you receive a new message request, or every time you receive a message in your message requests ; mute your entire Message Requests + how long for, etc.
+ For every message request you receive, you also have the option to accept or mute it.
If you muted and then deleted a message request, you would no longer receive messages from that person, and they wouldn't show up in your message requests.
