A complete backup should work as follows:

• Connect your device with USB and have adb ready
• Issue adb reboot recovery
• Create a local directory for the backup and cd into it
• Issue adb pull /data/system-data and adb pull /data/user-data
• This will take a while each. If everything goes well you should have both folders in your backup directory

A restore is the other way round:

• Connect your device with USB and have adb ready
• Issue adb reboot recovery
• cd into your backup folder
• Issue adb push system-data /data/system-data and adb push user-data /data/user-data

Note You have to be very careful with the adb paths. Sometimes it just throws everything into ., sometimes it follows into the sub directory. The correct how-to for this paths is not clear to me now ;)

MEHHH!!!!

@guru Well this will have the side effect that you will see in all chats "34543 unread messages" and this number increasing forever. Because, as soon as the telegram client marks a message read, also the peer is being notified. This clearly does not matter on a cmdline client, but for a GUI application this is not really useful.
Of course then you can disable the message bubble, but then you will never know in which chats you got unread messages. I find this highly confusing.
The typing could be disabled, yes, but whats the purpose? If you type a message, and then send it, your receiver will see a message, but no typing info before. Great, you just did not disclose that you typed it. Maybe you just copied it from clipboard. You never know. sneaky sneaky ;)

@ukphil Yes they changed the API. There is a test buld already that solves it for chats and dialogs, but not for supergroups. Working on that, expect update soon ;)

@guru Well it is how all those messengers work. WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Skype etc... I think that we should stop at a certain point with always coming with the privacy argument. Why do you use an instant messenger at all if you do not want your counterpart to know if you read smth? Use email then. Instant messengers are for fast, reliable communication, and part of this reliability is to know if the other party has received my message. Its just my point of view ofc.

UT can do nothing about, except to disable this feature on the client side. Still, your reads will be shown by other Apps on Android and iOS.

@rickigonzalez The 15.04 version of Telegram will not work on 16.04 - you definitely should see an upgrade. Did you run the upgrade wizard correctly after 16.04 booted for the first time?
