If you want to skip certain Telegram messages or clean up their content before forwarding, Auto Forward Messenger’s Cleaner and Filters features are exactly what you need.[ **The Filters feature**](https://docs-v2.autoforwardtelegram.com/filters) **lets you skip entire messages** based on specific conditions, while **the Cleaner actively removes** unwanted elements from within each message—such as links, emojis, hashtags, or other clutter.\
\
Whether you’re managing a crypto channel, curating content, or forwarding to a group, these tools give you more control and better automation.

### 🧹 What Is the Cleaner Feature?

The Cleaner feature in Auto Forward Messenger helps you remove specific elements from forwarded messages—like emojis, hashtags, links, URL previews, and other unwanted content—before they reach your target chat.\
\
This ensures your forwarded messages look clean and professional every time.

### Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use the Cleaner

To enable Auto Forward Messenger Cleaner and Filters, simply follow these steps:

1. Open your auto-forward task inside the app.
2. Scroll down and locate the Filters section.
3. Tap the **Cleaner** tab to begin adjusting message cleanup settings.

**Example 1: Remove URL Previews Automatically**

If your message includes a link and shows a preview, turn on the **Cleaner → URL Preview** toggle. Then, re-send the message to your source chat. As a result, the forwarded version won’t include the preview.

**Example 2: Remove Emojis and Hashtags**

Looking for a cleaner or more formal tone? Enable the Emoji and Hashtag options in the Cleaner tab. The message will be forwarded without these extra elements.
