That's it. Once created, you'll find your chat folder on the app's home screen. You can repeat the same steps above to create more chat folders in Telegram.
How to add or delete conversations from a folder
If you group chats by type, all conversations that fall into that category will be automatically added. Naturally, you may want to add or remove some chats from the folder in the future. Well, it's very easy to do. Here's how.
Step 1: Open the Telegram app and go to Settings. There, go to Folders and open your folder to make changes.
Step 2: Now tap on the Remove Chats option to exclude some chats from your folder.
You can choose to exclude muted, read, or archived chats. Or you can exclude them individually by selecting them from the list. When you're done, tap the check mark to continue.
Step 3: In the Chats folder, you'll find the removed conversations under Excluded Chats. Finally, click the Save option to confirm.
Similarly, you can also add new chats to your folder by clicking on the Add Chats option and choosing New Chats from the list.
How to manage chat folders on your phone

Additionally, you can also rearrange, edit, or delete folder tabs from there.
