Tdesktop: Green dot for users which are online

Created on 17 Sep 2016  路  7Comments  路  Source: telegramdesktop/tdesktop

Please add a marker on the contact screen when contacts are online, take for example Plus messenger, it has a green dot in front of the contact and different shades of grey depending on when a contact has been online.

Hi I also have a request :)
When I disable Notifications for a channel , I still get the message count shown on the dock icon under osx. It would be great if we only get notified when someone mentioned us,

@devianpctek Can you please change title to something like "Green dot for users which are online", so people can understand what's the issue about without opening the description?

@daslicht Settings -> Include muted chats in unread count

+5 !

There's no reliable way to keep track of users' status unless they're in your contact list without polling server all the time, so it's also an API issue.

@stek29 As I also wanted this feature (and this is how I found it), I can tell what are the things that are important to me in this feature, and maybe it could help. From the most important to less:

  1. Contacts status - related to what you've said:
    > There's no reliable way to keep track of users' status unless they're in your contact list without polling server all the time, so it's also an API issue.
  2. Bots status - are they alive? (I know it might be a bit different from the regular users' behavior)
  3. There are too many offline/inactive bots and it's pretty frustrating to check multiple bots just to discover they're not working.
  4. All users status - personally for me it's not really important.


  • _Also partial implementation - for just some of the three I mentioned would be very useful._

This is now available on Android and iOS, and it's awesome.
Please consider adding to Telegram Desktop as well!
