Could you please make a screenshot of that page?

Customer Replay

Can you remind me how to do that

To take a screenshot on your Android device:

  1. Open the screen that you want to capture.
  2. Depending on your phone:
  • Press the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time.
  • If that doesn’t work, press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Then tap Screenshot.

I'm so sorry when I do that the page just goes off

Okay, let's try another way, press on the first chat in your telegram and swipe it down as far as you can.

Let's try it again:

  1. Enter the archived chats folder. You can do this by sliding down the list of conversations on the main
    screen.
  2. Once you enter this, you must press and hold the conversations or channels that you want to
    unarchive until they are marked with the check.
  3. Finally, you enter the options menu of the three vertical points and select the section Unarchive.
  4. You can also simply swipe the archived chat from right to left to unarchive it and appear in the main list.

I've got contacts page I don't know how to get archived folder

Please, go to the chats page.
Slide down the list of conversations on the main screen.

Customer Replay

I've only got 1 conversations going I've been sliding down

Did it appear at the top of the chats? Or do you have only 1 chat at all?

Customer Replay

I only have 1 chat I'm new to this

No worries! Are you sure you have not deleted it before?

Customer Replay

Is he getting my messages I've not deleted it can I delete and start it up again

If you still have it archived you will possibly not see it later also.
Okay, lat's try it with that one chat.
Just tap on it and swipe to the bottom.

Is it possible to unarchive multiple chats at once or do I have to do it one by one?
