Priority of chats, groups and channels
If a person is an active telegram user, so his or her chat list may include dozens of communities, the position of which is formed automatically depending on last action date. All chats, groups and channels can be conditionally divided into the ones of high and low priority. As a rule, the former ones prevail in the general list.

One of Telegram secrets includes a possibility of prioritizing communities by users themselves. For realizing the given function, you need to follow these steps:
- Find a chat in the list.
- Open a context menu (you need to long-tap the chat’s name – for smartphones, or click on it with a right mouse button – for PCs).

From now on, the given dialogue will be always located at the top of the list.
