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.
> The chat creation is always intended, regardless your app settings about notifications for new contact inTelegram. So this is **not** a bug or problem.
The behavior is different on the mobile app. When the option is disabled, new chats are still highlighted in the app, right. But there is no badge on the app icon. Yet on desktop, the badge is added to the dock icon.
Now the problem has been partially resolved - the pop-up notification does not appear, but the notification about the connection of contacts itself still appears annoyingly. As before, a red counter appears on the icon, as if this is an important notification (all unimportant gray ones) and a new chat with a notification appears in the list, this greatly interferes with using the messenger.
I re-read my question and it has a setting "Settings - Notifications - Events - uncheck the box Contact joined Telegram". As I understand it, if it was enabled, then notifications of new contacts are acceptable. But I have it turned off, and notifications still appear in the chat list and a counter on the application. So no, the problem has definitely not been fixed.
The pop-up notification appearing was indeed a bug, but the chat itself appearing in the list with an unread message is the intended behavior at the moment. There is already a suggestion about that that you can vote here: Disable "New Contact Joined" chats #65
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.
