Color generation of Display Names

Telegram apps have a fixed set of colors. App is choosing the color based on the chatid and the userid. On Github you can see that e.g. our Android version has 8 fixed colors. So it could be that the name of the contact appears red in group chat A and in the group B in blue.

❓ Telegram answers to "Unread counter shows an extra +1" problem:

We're currently aware of this issue. It's being looked into right now, and we are hoping to get it fixed as soon as possible.

If you don't wish to wait for the fix, we can suggest a workaround: log in with our desktop app, find the group chat with an unread message there and open it to get rid of the extra notification.

Sorry for any inconvenience! We'll get back to you as soon as we have any news.

Problem: Can't take screenshots anywhere (Android)

Explanation: With the recent updates to Telegram, screenshots are disabled by default, if you have the passcode lock enabled.

You can change this setting by going to: Settings > Privacy and Security > Passcode lock, then enable Allow Screen Capture and restart the app.

When this option is enabled, you will be able to take screenshots of the app, but the system will display your chats in the task switcher when the passcode is on. Please also note that you need to have enough space in your device’s memory to save screenshots.

📱 TIP: Recurring Notifications on Android📱

❗️ Problem: When you have unread personal messages, Android notifications will repeat every hour until you open the message.

✅ Solution: Go to Settings -> Notifications and Sounds -> Repeat Notifications and select a repeat period or turn repeated notifications off altogether.

☎️ TIP: When is my phone number visible ☎️

1⃣ If you add someone (adding the person as a phone contact) and write them a message, the recipient will be able to see your number.

2⃣ If you contact another user via a username, forwarded message or group, your numbers remain 'unknown', until shared.

3⃣ Once the number is shared, you will always see it — even if you delete it from your contacts list. No reason to hide it again.
