Read receipts, story views, typing and online status are held back per the options; read on interact, scheduled and silent sending as in AyuGram. Every option resolves chat -> account -> global; forum topics follow their group. Settings live in the plugin page, a chat/profile menu popup, and a drawer row for the current account.

Ghost Mode
TL;DR: AyuGram's ghost mode as an exteraGram plugin: read, browse and type without anyone seeing it. You can set every option globally, per account and per chat.
Description
Ghost Mode stops the app from sending the signals that give you away: read receipts, story views, typing statuses and your online status. It also adds AyuGram's companion options: read on interact, scheduled sending and silent sending. Nothing is sent and nothing changes until you turn something on.
Every option works on three levels, and the most specific one with a value wins:
- Chat: open a chat or profile, tap ⋮ → Ghost mode.
- Account: plugin settings → Accounts → pick an account.
- Global: the switches on the plugin's main settings page.
So you can stay a ghost everywhere except in one chat, or only on a second account. A forum (a group with topics) is one chat: its settings cover every topic, and there's nothing per topic.
Features
Ghost essentials (the Ghost mode switch turns all five on or off)
- Don't read messages. Read receipts aren't sent. Chats still look read on your side.
- Don't read stories. Story views aren't sent.
- Don't send online. Your online status is sent as offline. Account level only.
- Don't send typing. Typing, recording and uploading statuses aren't sent.
- Go offline automatically. Every online status is followed straight away by an offline one. Account level only.
Options
- Read on interact (on by default). Sending a message to a chat where messages aren't read marks that chat as read, as AyuGram does.
- Use scheduled messages. Messages and forwards are scheduled 12 seconds ahead (media gets more time to upload). Telegram's servers then deliver them, so sending doesn't put you online. Secret chats, bots and Saved Messages are never scheduled.
- Send without sound. Messages and forwards are sent silently.
In the app
- Chat and profile ⋮ menu → Ghost mode: this chat's options. Each one shows its value and whether it comes from the chat, the account or the global settings. Tapping an option cycles Default → On → Off. The menu also has a ghost toggle for the chat, Read all messages now and a reset.
- Message menu → Read until here: sends a read receipt up to that message.
- Side menu → Ghost mode: the options of the account in use. It has the same list and Global → On → Off cycling as its settings page, plus a ghost toggle and a reset.
- Plugin settings → Accounts: each account's options (Global / On / Off) and its list of chat exceptions.
