  • Archived chats - Each of the chats in the folders can be archived when it is no longer active or needed. iOS users need to swipe left to remove a chat, Android users need to long-press on a specific chat then choose archive.
  • Desktop Sync - Folders will automatically sync with your Telegram desktop app. In this way, you can have your chats organized into folders regardless of whether you're using a desktop or mobile app.

Apart from creating folders, Telegram also offers other cool features like editing sent messages and scheduling messages to be sent in the future.
