Have you ever suddenly joined a group on Telegram? In fact, you don’t feel like you’ve ever joined or are familiar with the group. In fact, you also don’t know who the person who funly added your Telegram account to the group. That kind of thing is unpleasant. Moreover, it is possible that there are “intruders” with malicious intent who want to perform unpleasant actions, such as spreading malware through groups or bombarding groups with lots of spam messages.
By default, the Telegram groups feature does allow anyone to invite anyone else into a group, even if the inviter and invitee don’t know each other or are in the contact list. However, there is a way to prevent your Telegram account from being added to a group without permission. The steps can be seen below.
1. Open the Telegram app.
2. Click the three stacked “menu/line icon” in the top right corner.
3. Click “settings” which is represented by the gear icon.
4. Select “privacy and security”.
5. Select “group/group.”
6. Click “my contacts” to restrict who can invite you to the Telegram group.
7. If you want to add security, select the “add exceptions” option below.
8. If you want only certain accounts that can invite you to the group, select “always allow”, then select the desired contact.
9. On the other hand, if you don’t want a specific account to be added to the group, select “never allow”, then select the contact you want to block from inviting.
10. Click the check mark in the upper right corner to update the settings.
If you have already entered into an unwanted group and want to leave the group, the method is as follows:
Open the unwanted group Click the three dots in the upper right corner Select “delete and leave group”.
