Really? Every Telegram group I tried to chat started spamming me with notifications every few seconds and I uninstalled the damn thing.

The UI also looks like it was made by a intern who just learned how to use Android Studio, not like something new and cool. The actual text "Telegram" and a magnifying glass button instead of a search bar, hamburger menu instead of your own profile pic, no big fat QR scan icon, ...

1) it's incredibly trivial and intuitive to mute a channel. i see no issue with receiving notifications by default to a channel you just subscribed to

2) hamburger menu is right here. the avatar-as-menu implies account details. the menu presented instead makes sense and has the stuff you'd expect.

3) magnifying bar makes sense since the real estate saved is used for useful information

4) there is a big fat qr scan icon. it's just not "first page material", which is the correct decision here. if abd when you need it, telegram tells you where to find it.

In any case, you are entitled to your assessment. I just completely disagree with it.

That's pretty much how any group chat works on any platform, it's just a simple click to mute it except for direct mentions.

Why do you need your profile instead of a menu? Why a QR icon? Why a search bar?

Those are very minor things on an app that functions extremely well.

Save some, I turn the notification off from all groups and channels. I just check them when I want. This has worked for me well.
