Keeping up to date with your chats in the ever-evolving world of messenger applications requires regular maintenance and adjustments to suit your preferences. The Telegram chat application is no different. To help you cope with the ever-growing demand of notifications and alerts, it offers a plethora of settings to customize the messaging experience according to your needs. In this article, we will explore how the Telegram app allows you to change the notification settings for a specific chat.
1. Introduction
In this article, we will discuss the implications of the rising cost of higher education in the United States of America. We will delve into the current situation of college tuition costs, the cause for the rise in tuition fees, as well as its impact on students and society.
Firstly, the current landscape of college tuition fees must be taken into account. According to the College Board, the average annual cost of tuition fees for the 2018-19 academic year was $10,230 for public institutions, and $35,830 for private non-profit universities in the United States. This is a dramatic increase from only $3,190 and $28,500 respectively for the 1994-95 academic year.
The prominent causes for the rising tuition fees are varied and complex. Generally, these include:
- Flattening of State Funding: State funding for higher education has dropped since the 1980s, resulting in universities relying more and more on tuition fees to make up the revenue gap.
- Operating Costs: Universities often spend large amounts of money on infrastructure improvements, faculty salaries, and student services. This can be reflected in tuition fees.
- Rise in Student Enrollment: When the student population increases, universities are required to provide additional support and resources leading to a higher cost per student
2. Steps to Change Notification Settings of a Specific Chat on Telegram
Most chats on Telegram can be set up to notify you of activity in various ways. From turning off all noise for a specific chat to customising the appearance of notifications on the lockscreen or in the notification shade, you have a fair amount of control on how and when you are notified. If you want to be in control of how you get notified for individual chats, here is what you should do:
Step 1: Open the Chat you want to change the Notifications Settings of.
On the left side of your screen, you’ll find the conversation list. Open the conversation you want to modify the notification settings for.
Step 2: Access the Notification Settings.
Inside the chat, tap the three-dot icon on the top right corner. Here, you’ll access the chat’s settings. Choose ‘Notifications’ located in the second tab. This will open the chat’s notification settings page.
Step 3: Adjust the chat’s Notification Settings.
You will now find the different notification settings with three options:
- Notification Sound — Choose a tone or song you want to hear, when you receive a message from this chat.
- Vibrate — Choose a vibration pattern you wish to receive when you get a message from this chat.
- Lockscreen notifications — Select this option to show a preview of messages from this chat on the lockscreen.
Once you have made your changes, hit the ‘Enable’ button near the bottom of the window to ensure the changes are applied.
3. Setting Quiet Mode
There are certain times when you would greatly benefit from a quiet environment. Whether you are trying to create an ideal study environment for homework or simply need some extra relaxation and peace of mind, is the perfect way to do it. Here is what you need to do to ensure a tranquil atmosphere.
- Start by limiting the amount of noise that comes in and out of the room. Close the windows and block off any entrances where sound could travel. You could also try placing a thin, folded blanket against the door to help absorb incoming sound.
- If available, use a sound machine to generate white noise and drown out any external sound. White noise will help to quiet down the atmosphere of the room and provide a pleasant background noise that will cancel out any disruptive noise.
- Lastly, turn off any devices that produce sound. This includes TVs, radios, video gaming systems and any other noisy appliances. It is also best to refrain from talking as much as possible so that conversations don’t disturb the peace of the room.
Following these steps will help you create the perfect study environment or just a moment of solace. Establishing a quiet atmosphere is a crucial part to being able to concentrate and allow your mind to be at peace.
4. Customizing Notification Sounds and Vibration Settings
So you’re done setting your wallpaper or theme, it’s time to make your phone truly your own. Customizing the notification sounds and vibration settings is the next step.
First, you need to select which sound to use. Head to your Settings and select Notifications. From here, you can scroll through the list and select a sound for your notifications, or you can set each application individually. Among the list of categories, you will find:
- Default sounds
- Ringtones
- User-uploaded audio files
Once you have selected the sound, you can also adjust the vibration settings. Get creative, personalise them to your liking and make sure you can always identify your notifications in a crowded, noisy room. And that’s it. From here, you can move to customizing your home screen and other settings associated with your device.
5. Turning Off Pop-up Notifications
Pop-up notifications are useful for keeping up with news or updates, however they can be intrusive or even downright annoying. You may want to decrease the number of notifications you see or turn them off completely. Here are five methods to do so:
- Desktop notifications – Some websites or apps may ask you to enable notifications. If you choose to enable them, you may need to change the settings in order to limit the number you see. Check your browser and app settings to remove permissions for unneeded notifications.
- Mobile notifications – To turn off notifications for apps on your mobile device, go to the Settings app for your device, then the Notifications section. From there, you can choose which apps you don’t want to see information from. Some apps may also have their own notification settings in their app level settings.
- Email notifications – You can also decide which emails you’d like to receive notifications for. Go to your email settings and make sure you adjust the notification settings there.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to find pop-up notification settings, so you may need to do a thorough search to make sure you don’t miss any. Once you adjust the settings in your browser, on apps and in emails, you should be able to minimize or completely turn off your pop-up notifications.
Once the notification settings for a specific chat have been changed on Telegram, users can now be confident that their chats will be easier to manage and organized. By following the steps above, Telegram users can now enjoy their chats and chats from specific contacts without any distracting notifications.
