Hi all
whan my phone connects to internet , some apps try to open my Telegram and direct me to the advertising groups or channels....how could i detect them?
is there any way to monitor app's activity (oppening certain app on the phone) like this ?

Kind Regards.
 
In Telegram go into Settings, Privacy and Security, Groups
Here you can change who can add you to groups, change that from Everybody to My Contacts.

With regards to checking if an app is doing this, I personally doubt it's an app doing it. I reckon it's just ad groups who have your telegram name. If you did still think it was an app doing this you would need to manually deduce which app is doing so, by checking running apps and disabling apps till you figure out which app may be calling the Telegram API to launch a group. However I'd just recommend my top suggestion of preventing random people from adding you to groups.

Thank you for following my case
Already i've changed Everybody to My Contact in telegram settings. But still when i connect to internet , telegram wants to open and show me advertising channel ......
Is there any firewall or network activity apps to monitor running apps and their activity ?

Kind Regards.
