schema How Dynamic Scope Inversion Works
Telegram eliminates visual clutter by intelligently pruning redundant badges depending on your active navigation scope:
| Active Tab / Scope | Chat: "Acme Corp" (Folders: Work, VIP, Invoices) | Visual Tags Displayed |
|---|---|---|
| All Chats (Global Scope) | Belongs to Work (Blue), VIP (Gold), Invoices (Green) | Displays [Work] [VIP] [Invoices] badges |
| Work Folder Tab | Currently inside the 'Work' container | Hides [Work]; displays only [VIP] [Invoices] |
| VIP Folder Tab | Currently inside the 'VIP' container | Hides [VIP]; displays only [Work] [Invoices] |
| Unread Filter Scope | Has unread messages across folders | Displays all tags plus unread status indicator badge |

Do my chat partners see the tags I assign to them?

How do I change the color of a folder tag?
Long-press on any folder tab in your chat list, tap 'Edit Folder', and tap on the color picker circle to assign any of the 8 available Telegram color tokens.
