a new era of messaging

What is Telegram:

Telegram is a cloud-based, cross-platform, encrypted instant messaging service. It allows users to exchange messages, share media and files, and hold private and group voice or video calls as well as public livestreams. It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and web browsers. Telegram also offers end-to-end encryption in voice and video calls, and in optional private chats, known as Secret Chats.

I received a copyright strike in a private Telegram channel. Can Telegram view the content of a private channel or group if I’m the only member in it?

I had a private Telegram channel with around 100 members where I shared movies and series from other groups and channels. Unfortunately, I received a copyright strike.

Now, I want to create a new group with the Topics option turned on (which is more useful for organizing files than a channel) where I’ll be the only member to store movies and series forwarded from other groups and channels without receiving a copyright strike.

I’m asking this because the previous channel had over 10,000 files, and I don’t want to go through the trouble of creating a group and then getting a copyright strike again.

Lost the phone number of my longtime TG account. New number in use.

I lost my phone number associated with my longtime telegram account due to the number range being deprecated by my provider. My new number apparently already has a TG account associated with it.

Do I have any recourse? I don't want my account to be inaccessible if something goes wrong. I've paid for premium for the year already, but more importantly I'd lose a lot of chats and history.

Can people see that I viewed their old stories?

I know they can I see who viewed their current story. But how old should a story be for its view list to disappear (if it disappears at all)?

Different themes for multiple accounts

A big feature that is missing is how we can't have different themes and backgrounds for each different accounts.

This feature should have been added ages ago!

Telegram secret chat, how safe and secured is it?

So recently on my Iphone (the only device i have telegram with) received a 2 factor authentication notification in telegram

The attempted login didnt push through saying:

INCOMPLETE LOGIN ATTEMPT…..

Nobody gained access to your account because the login was not completed, the code was entered correctly but no code was given.

So here i am asking (being an idiot for sure because of my overthinking i cant comprehend stuff)

If that “attempted login” got access to my telegram and secret chats for a moment?

Private group is not so private.

I have a private group linked to a channel.
From the channel someone that is not in the group, can see the group chat just by the Discuss button in the channel
Is there a way to disable it?

I have the same account on 2 seperate phones & the messages are different

I have 2 phones but the same Telegram account on both phones. One is my personal phone & the other is my work. Work phone is wifi and hotspot only, no SIM card. My personal phone is a regular phone with a plan and a bill.

My account is the same on both phones, linked to the same phone number but my work phone that runs on only wifi and hot spot says there are no messages when my personal phone has them all. It’s all set up identical so I don’t understand Please if anyone has any suggestions

I can’t block spammers from finding me by phone number

The option to disable people finding me by my number is not available. From searching this reddit I understand it should be available when the phone number is hidden for everyone. Am I missing another setting?

This is the latest version and the language setting doesn’t affect it.

start Telegram message with name instead of phone number

I have Telegram on my android phone. How can I add a contact and send them a message, when the only information I have is a message in reddit from them saying, "Contact me on telegram,  **@their_telegram_name**

The Telegram app on my android phone sends messages only when I have a phone number for the contact. Having only their telegram name does nothing that I can see.

I understand I am missing some basic information and I cannot find it.

Any information you can provide that helps me solve this dead end on telegram will be much appreciated. Thank you

[Q] Theme color label for the background of my own posts to a channel?

Hi. I'm trying to customize a TG Desktop theme so that my own posts stand out more, to find them more easily. I've logged into Telegram's cloud theme editor, and it's much more helpful than the onboard theme customizer, but it still is not very helpful. I'm looking for the label of my own posts' background color. Thanks.

Can't login to my Telegram (SMS doesn't arrive)

I was suddenly logged out of my business Telegram that i was using more than 8 years. Now I can't login, because SMS verification code doesn't arrive.

I didn't get any response from Telegram support, but it's clearly something wrong.

I'm not the only one with problem like this.

we've sent the code to the Telegram app on your other device.

So, I can't get the code and register. It shows:

"We've sent the code to the Telegram app for 'number' on your other device."

Is there a way to get the code via text SMS?

I've tried messaging support via email, but there is pure silence.

I think my account is in the process, or being stolen

A lot of suspicious activity from my offline friends suddenly joining Telegram (but it was clearly not them) was alarming to me, but I didn't think much of it.

I just got a notification of a login from Singapore (I'm Slovenian), got logged out on every device, and I am not getting any text messages from Telegram to confirm my login. This means I can't really log them out, or change anything.

I've written to Telegram support but I doubt they'll respond in time. What can I do? I'm okay with nuking the account, by the way. But I need to login to do that.

Can you change number without 2FA code?

Hi guys, I made my telegram account many years ago and don’t have access to the number I created it with. Someone has managed to get into my account and set up 2FA. If I change the number on the account, will it request a 2FA code or the 2FA password to do so, which obviously I don’t have as someone has got into the account and set this up? I have removed any unauthorised devices as well as requested to change the 2FA password which I can do in 7 days I’m just trying to take precautions. Thanks!

When I went on my telegram account after a few weeks of not using it, there was a recent contact showing with a user that I never messaged or have the phone number on in my contacts. How is this possible?

I have telegram app on my iPhone. I have it password protected so if anyone tries to log into an account with my number, it will ask for a password. But not a password just when going into the app on my phone.

I went into the app after a few weeks of not using it and there was a recent contact there for someone I don’t know and never gave messaged with. I don’t have my contacts allowed on telegram and even if I did, I don’t have that number saved as I’ve never seen it before. When I clicked on the recent contact, there was a blank chat, I don’t know if it was blank because there had once been a chat there that had been cleared or because I clicked on the contact so it brought up a blank chat like I was going to message them for the first time.

After I exed out of the chat, the recent contact was gone and I could not see it anymore.

What the heck happened? The only thing I can think of is that this person had messaged me and erased the chat after I didn’t respond. So it was showing as a recent contact? Or someone is using my app without my knowledge?

What do you guys think?

How to keep order of the messages sent offline?

When i'm offline and respond to messages by voice recodings or other messages, they are sent in the wrong order once i'm online again. Like, they listen to a voice recoding that's related to a topic four messages ahead and it's annoying. How can i fix this?

Telegram banned my +18 groups a few days after their creation. Alternatives?

Does anyone know why Telegram bans my groups after a few days, they are private content groups for adults +18. Before, Telegram left this type of content and had groups of years, but lately since the last updates I see that the most followed groups ban me, they are groups with an average of 100,000k members. I see many people who have public groups of this type and do not ban them. I don't understand why only me. Is there any way to avoid this.

Does anyone know the difference between a notification of a picture with this emoji 📷 and this one 🖼️?

I don’t understand it. when someone sends me a pic sometimes the notification pops up like ‘ 📷 photo’ and sometimes like ‘🖼️ photo’. What’s the difference? I made a test and i dont think the difference is that one is a photo taken directly from the app and the other is taken from the gallery and then sent. Help im going crazy 💀
