Telegram Tips ✔

Buttons Inside Messages. Developers are able to put multiple buttons inside any message. With ephemeral messages, this allows for automated flows that can run entire apps in one message. More information for developers is available here.

Welcome Messages. Group and channel owners can create messages to greet new members and give them extra info. Welcome messages are only visible to each new member – and can include media, rich formatting and more. To add a welcome message in your group or channel, open its profile and select Edit > Welcome Message.

Telegram Communities. Several groups, channels and bots can be linked together in a single community, where members can view and join other chats instantly. Admins in communities have granular privacy controls that allow them to hide certain chats and control whether members can add new chats or only admins. Communities save space in your chat list — you can toggle whether it appears as separate chats or one chat that expands when opened.

⭐️ Rich Text Editor. You can create articles and long posts of over 32,000 characters in a visual editor that supports dozens of formatting options like tables, lists, inline media and more. The editor also allows you to generate text and formatting using privacy-conscious AI tools.

AI Admins for Groups. Groups can add AI bots as admins to process join requests with unique features like captcha support.

Rich Text Formatting for Bots. Telegram bots and AI agents have access to nearly 100 text formats – like headers, tables, math or code formatting and more. Information for developers is available here.

Watch Apps. Telegram is also available on Apple and Android smartwatches. The watch apps allow you to send messages, manage your chats and more without your phone nearby.

Custom AI Styles. The text editor allows anyone to use their own prompts to build unique styles. Each custom style has a shareable link so others users can preview the style and add it to their editor. To build your own AI Style, tap the ➕ 'Create' button in the 'Style' tab of the editor.

Threads and Streaming Text for Bots. Telegram bots and AI agents support threaded conversations to manage multiple topics in parallel. Bots can also stream text as it is generated – to send responses in real time.

Chat Automation in Profiles. Every Telegram user can connect a bot to their profile – and let it respond to messages on their behalf. You control your bot secretary with granular permissions – such as only replying to new chats or non-contacts. To connect a bot to your profile, go to Settings > Edit > Chat Automation.

Bot-to-Bot Communication. Bots are able to respond to other bots, in addition to user commands. AI enthusiasts can utilize this to create custom workflows with autonomous agents. More information for developers is available here.

Guest Bots. Telegram bots can be accessed directly in groups and 1-on-1 chats to answer questions and perform tasks. To mention a bot that supports this feature, simply put its @username in your message. Guest Bots only have access to the specific message they are tagged in and any replies to it. These bots cannot see which users are in the chat. To enable Guest Mode, bot developers can use this guide.

Managed Bots. Anyone can utilize AI bots to easily develop, launch and manage their own bot – with no coding required. More information for developers is available here.

Date Formatting. The 'Date' formatting option lets you set a specific date and time to add events to a calendar or set a reminder. Date formatting automatically adapts to each recipient's local date and time.

Captions for GIFs. When selecting a GIF in the GIF panel, you can add a caption directly to it, and send it all as one message. GIFs can also be edited before sending – to add text, drawings and emoji or to trim the GIF and change its length. To add a caption or edit a GIF, press and hold it in the panel and select 'Edit'.

⭐️ Disable Sharing in Private Chats. Subscribers of Telegram Premium can disable sharing in any 1-on-1 chat.
