view_list 1. Batch State Management & Atomic RPC Queue
When bulk actions are confirmed, Telegram does not fire individual blocking network requests for each conversation. Instead, client-side SQLite databases update the interface instantly while queuing an aggregated batch RPC payload to MTProto edge servers.
Multi-Pin Prioritization
Quickly pin up to 5 vital dialogs in your main chat tab (or unlimited chats inside custom Chat Folders) simultaneously, ordering your high-priority projects at the very top.
Mass Notification Silencing
Silence entire categories of hyperactive supergroups or announcement feeds in one tap, preventing notification overload without leaving communities.
Atomic Archive Relocation
Moves selected dialogs to the dedicated Archive folder. Muted archived chats remain permanently tucked away unless specifically unmuted.
5-Second Undo Protection Buffer
When performing destructive actions like mass deletion, a 5-second countdown banner appears at the bottom of the display. Tapping 'Undo' rolls back the entire batch instantly.
checklist 2. Step-by-Step Multi-Select & Batch Action Workflow
Press and Hold Any Conversation
In your main chat feed, long-press any thread until a circular checkmark appears and the top search bar converts into the batch action appbar.
Tap Additional Target Chats
Scroll through your inbox and tap any additional conversations. Checkmark dials illuminate for every selected dialog.
Select Target Action in Top Bar
Choose Pin (push pin icon), Mute (bell icon), Archive (box icon), Mark Read (double checkmark), or Delete (trashcan icon).
Confirm or Use 5-Second Undo
The action executes atomically. If you made an error, tap the 'Undo' button in the bottom 5-second snackbar countdown to restore the previous state.
