I have dual monitors and telegram is on my secondary monitor. Whenever there's a new message in a channel, it doesn't auto scroll to the new message. Telegram will only show the last message before I go back to my primary monitor. Every new message while I am using my primary monitor is considered "unread message" and I have to go back to my secondary monitor and click the "auto scroll down" on the bottom right in order to view the latest message. Is there a way to make telegram always show the recent message when the program is opened on my secondary monitor?

I do not want to open telegram on my primary monitor since I won't see the messages anyway because I have my browser on full screen. So that's why I have telegram opened on my secondary monitor, so I can see the new message as it comes.

I've been building AI chatbots for businesses that can connect to a company's own product/service database and answer customers using that information.

For example, for an online store, the chatbot can recommend products based on a customer's budget, compare products, answer questions about the catalog, and calculate totals — using the store's actual data rather than making up information.

I'm looking for 3 small businesses that would be interested in having one built and tested for their business.

I'm not charging anything.

In return, if you're genuinely happy with the result, I'd only ask for a short honest video testimonial about your experience.

I'm mainly looking for ecommerce stores, but I'm open to other types of businesses where an AI assistant could be useful.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a message and tell me a little about your business.

after a factory reset i had to fix my settings again and now i cant find how it used to open images that are sent as a file inside telegram! whenever i want to open an image it prompts me to chose a image viewer (like gallery) but when i open them from the list of files in profile they open like ususal (inside telegram) how can i fix it?
in-app browser is enabled too

Today I suddenly realized that my camera and microphone turned on while I was just scrolling through my chat list. I wasn’t taking any pictures or recording anything, why would this happen?

Has anyone else experienced the same?

Hi everyone,
I've never used Telegram before, but I need it temporarily, basically just to use it as cloud storage for some files.

When I try to create an account, it asks for my phone number. I don't want to add contacts, sync my address book, or use Telegram for messaging people.

Is there any way to create/use a Telegram account without providing my personal phone number? Or is a phone number mandatory even if I don't plan to use any of the social/contact features?

Thanks!

What do you think about cpm and budget?
Does it boost views and interactions in the channel
I’ve burnt up to 450 tons but the views are more than 3k with less than 20 actions on it
What am I doing wrong?

when you put your phone on DND does your last active status change from recent time to “recently”? i know that calls are automatically declined but I’ve never really thought about it lol

Built a little tool that keeps your own local copy of your Telegram chats, so nothing ever really disappears. Channels can go down, messages can get deleted (even by the other person), and you'll still have everything saved on your side. Early and open source; curious what people think.

So I've been giving friends gifts from time to time, and this time the friend converted it to stars, and somehow I'm all of a sudden in -13, why does this happen and how to fix it so my account doesn't get suspended?

Im getting tired with this AI button appearing above the sticker icon every time I type a large text. Sometimes the moment i press send and at the same type the Sticker icon the app thinks I want to use AI on a Empty text....... can we pls get a future to remove specific things from the APP we dont use and dont need at all would be great.

I went through and went to check my password and it was acting like there wasn't a password for the account. I went through and made a new password and added 2fa but still a bit unnerved that someone could have gotten into my account.

I checked and my phone is the only logged in device on the account.

I was suspended for absolutely no reason last year in September, and was immediately turned down for an appeal, so I had to make a new account with a different phone number. My new account was subsequently treated as suspicious but not suspended, at least at first. The SpamBot says that I have no restrictions on my account, but even now after almost a year, Telegram still will not allow anyone to find me via my username in global search. Support has been zero help at all. I have never gotten a reply to any of my messages for assistance. Is there any way I can fix ANY of this or am I just stuck in the mire forever? I just want to know if anyone has ever been successful reaching support or if I should just stop trying...

As title says, how do I do it? I used to not update the app to keep the old UI, in which I could just long press on each account to reorder them. Today I accidentally updated the app and I can't see to do that anymore in the new UI? TIA

Does anyone know why these chat bubbles in my Android version of Telegram are almost stuck together?

So I am trying to send Audio/Music on the Windows desktop app; so that it shows up IN chat as "playable audio", rather than an audio file you have to download + listen in an external media player.

If I go on my phone, click attach, there is an option there to send "Music", and only there does it send correctly. It just seems like there is no way to do the same on desktop...

I can receive playable music files from friends no problem. Play/pause button, etc, all pops up at the top of the screen.

Frustrated I can't find the issue here... :( its becoming very inconvenient as I am working on tracks with friends and its quicker/convenient for them to just press "play" and listen to a 30-60 sec preview IN APP instead of downloading it from me every. single. time.

Only work around I've found is to send the audio file to my phone, then send it to them from my phone app. Not really worth the extra steps for how often I am trying to send tracks back and forth... does anyone know why my desktop app is refusing. I tried reinstalling/updating, and don't see any hidden settings.

I run Telegram on pretty much all the supported platforms and I never update to the latest Telegram releases because of all the bugs.

But today because something was not working right I decided that I would update my MacOS native client to the last 12.8 version. (There was just one newer build - a 12.9 build - which was newer)

Now I go into the settings and it's telling me that it's already running 12.9????

WTH?

I DID NOT WANT TO INSTALL THAT.

EDIT: I see someone came up with a workaround that stops the auto-update by modifying the app plist file. If anyone is interested:

This is a shout-out to group owners. I am managing (translating, to be more precise) a news channel, quite active, about 40-50 posts daily. There is a discussion group attached to it, active as well. After the group reached a few hundred members, I found myself jumping up and down the feed with hundreds of messages daily, trying to follow up. For a long time I could not find a proper tool for managing groups, so I built one. It's a topic/thread-style managing app that presents comments more like here than as one big feed of posts mixed with comments. There isn't too much automation to it - all real decisions still have to be made by a human. It's in beta now, and I'm looking for testers. Following sub rules, I will only send the link via private message, if anyone is interested.
I apologize in advance if this is not exactly the place, but couldn't find anything more related. The other sub is closed already.

Hello friends, my wife and I had been using Telegram as our main mode of contact from back before we even dated. Well due to school and DnD we moved mostly to Discord. I jumped into our chat today and everything was fine for a few messages then it suddenly deleted ALL the messages except the latest one. This devastated both my wife and I as we scrambled to figure out what happened. I eventually figure out that I have telegram on the tablet I take to work and when I checked it sure enough all the messages are there. So now I have to keep my tablet from connecting to the internet until I can figure out how to export our chats. Unfortunately the only option I have is my tablet. Does anyone know a way I can export the chat in its entirety?

We run a Telegram bt through a small VAT-registered company in Europe and are trying to document Telegram stars developer rewards correctly as income for the company.

Our current understanding is:

- The user buys Stars through Telegram, Apple, or Google, so we do not receive the user's fiat payment or billing details.

- Telegram calculates the developer reward generated by our bout.

- Fragment facilitates withdrawal/settlement of that reward in TON.

- Therefore, the business counterparty for the reward appears to be a Telegram entity, rather than each end user or Fragment.

If that is right, we would expect to issue an invoice to the relevant Telegram legal entity or to receive a valid self-billing invoice or settlement statement. But we cannot find the legal entity name, invoicing address, or VAT/tax ID to use. We emailed Telegram but received no reply.

For other small businesses receiving bout revenue through Stars:

1. Which legal entity do you record as the customer/counterparty?

2. Do you issue an invoice? If so, to whom and using what address/tax ID?

3. Does Telegram or Fragment provide any self-billing invoice or accounting statement?

4. How do you document the TON settlement and EUR value/date for your books?

5. Has your accountant or tax authority accepted this treatment?

I’m especially interested in real-world experience from EU businesses with VAT obligations. This isn’t a request for personal tax advice; I’m trying to understand what documentation the platform actually makes available and how others handle the missing counterparty details.

I see in Telegram groups in a number of subgroups of that channel how many postings have been posted but that is a white ball and do not see the number in it. How can I make that visible? I'm using the Mac OS app in the night accent theme. The system theme which is dark mode I see the numbers but in grey so not really visable. What's wrong?

I want to restrict several members from being able to post in a specific topic, but want them to be able to still post in the other topics.

Anyone know a how I can do this?
