According to the Izvestia newspaper:

✳️ TABS are coming to Telegram. Messages will be grouped into 4 parts in the next update:

▶️Chats (one-to-one with users),
▶️Groups
▶️Channels
▶️Bots

There will be tabs on top part of the screen to switch between them. Each tab will have its own notifications setting, so you may switch on notifications for private chats only for example.

It's still unknown when this update will go live. According to the Izvestia's source, the update is going to happen in the near future.

📡About the source: Source is anonymous, so we can't confirm much more. As far as we know, Izvestia is not shitty media.
