Hide Group Members

In Beta version of Telegram for Android and iOS, you can hide the list of members in group chats.

When the setting is enabled, only non-anonymous group administrators are visible in the members list. Administrators themselves still see a list of all chat members.

The option is available for supergroups from 100 members. The toggle is located in the "Members" section.

The list of members is hidden not only for users of Beta version, but also for those who use the latest stable versions of applications (Android, iOS, macOS, Unigram — 9.2, Desktop — 4.4).
