The "contact joined Telegram" option is disabled, but notifications always come. This bug has been appear for years, the option is always turned off for me, but I constantly get damn notifications with pop-up messages that new contacts are joining Telegram. Please fix this, I am tired of constantly paying attention to this and deleting useless empty chats that are being created.
Steps to reproduce
Settings - Notifications - Events - uncheck the box Contact joined Telegram. This option does not work, notifications about new contacts constantly appear again.
Even if you disable the option both on the web and on the app, after a few mins it's automatically enabled again. It's extremely annoying and I can't seem to get it to just stay disabled.

This is still happening but the thing is the contacts I get notified of are not even in my contacts list or anything. I don't even know who those people are. The phone numbers get saved by "." in "contacts" automatically.
This is the same damn problem I'm having in 2024 all of a sudden! App is up to date on my phone and these "contacts" are NOT even saved on my phone or sim card but deleted YEARS AGO...FOR GOOD REASON. If they still have my number they should not be able to contact me so easily if i dont have their number saved as a contact! Even stranger than that, contacts from my mother's phone book or wherever its coming from are popping up on my phone notification that those people now have Telegram and I don't even know them nor do they have my number yet my mum gets the exact same notification on her phone too. WHAT IS GOING ON! IT'S A BREACH OF MY PRIVACY AND SAFETY AND TELEGRAM HAVE IGNORED MY IN APP SUPPORT MESSAGES.
