Folders in Plus Messenger
Messenger 6.1.1 was released on May 8th 2020. Update 6.1.1.1 was released on May 29th. Its main feature is Telegram Folders. Here it is some details about folders engine.
Common “Folders” description
- Folders are described in Telegram blog: https://telegram.org/blog/folders
- Plus Messenger supports both old tabs (now they are called “local folders”) and new folders (“cloud folders”). Local folders are displayed only in Plus Messenger, cloud folders are displayed in all your telegram apps.
Settings
Folders settings are available in “Folders” item in app menu. You can also open it from “Settings” or by tg://settings/folders link.
Local folders are displayed on the top of Folders Settings screen, cloud folders are in the bottom.
You can reset folders settings to default: open folders settings, tap on three dots button in top right corner and select “Reset folders”.
You can also convert any of your Category (not Tab, not local folder, but Category!) to cloud folder. Open categories list, tap on three dots button near needed category and select “Create folder from this category”.
Here is the list of folders displaying settings:
- P0.1 Hide tabs/folders. Turn on to hide any tabs/folders on chat list screen.

- P1.4 Show tab title. Turn on to see cloud folders names in tab titles.
