JoinHideBot: Clean Join/Leave Notices

Open a busy group in the morning and the feed looks like this: "Ivan joined", "Anna left", "Peter joined", with a real conversation buried between them. JoinHideBot clears that noise so only actual messages stay on screen. 🧹

It does one thing: it deletes the service messages announcing that a member entered or left a group. No menus or complicated settings are involved.

Where the "joined" and "left" lines go

Telegram itself drops service records into the chat whenever someone enters or leaves. In a small circle of friends they do no harm, but in a group of thousands they push useful messages off the screen.

The bot catches these records and erases them as soon as they appear. To members, the chat looks as if nothing happened.

A one-minute setup

The bot needs administrator rights in your group. The order is simple:

1. Open the group settings and choose to add a member.
2. Find the bot by name and add it to the chat.
3. Open the administrators list and promote the bot.
4. Keep the permission to delete messages switched on; the other rights can stay off.

Granting the minimum is good practice here. The bot should delete service records and do nothing else. ✅

What it removes and what stays

• Removed: service messages about joins and leaves that appear after the bot is connected.
• Kept: ordinary messages from people, pinned posts and replies.
• Older records that appeared before the bot arrived usually have to be cleaned by hand or left alone.

The events themselves do not disappear. If you track membership, use the member list and the group's admin log. 📋

Who needs it and who can skip it

Admins of large public chats, channel discussions and interest communities get the most from it, since people come and go all day there.

In a small private group the noise barely matters, so the bot is optional. If your chat is tiny, leaving things as they are is fine.

Trusting a bot that holds admin rights

A bot with deletion rights is part of your group. Give it only the permission it needs, and think twice before adding it to private chats where personal data is discussed. 🔐

Make sure you add the right bot: services with similar names have different owners. If you are unsure, try it in a test group first.

The bot has hundreds of thousands of users in total, and its monthly audience is in the tens of thousands. One small task, one set of rights, a clear result.
