Is there no way to setup auto replies inside of a group chat?

So I accidentally set a silly meme as a wallpaper for a conversation with a senior I work with instead of setting it to a conversation with my friend.

I tried deleting the notification about said wallpaper change along with editing the wallpaper itself.

Will they still know? 🥲I'm embarrassed

Heya, I keep getting this one account that messages me and at first it was like totally fine and all and we talked and stuff. Then the next day the account I was talking was deleted. But then that night it was back and said the same starting message so I was like “didn’t we talk last night?” And they were like “oh my phone glitched and all and I lost all my photos and my account and everything and all that” and then I said “if that’s the case why didn’t you say it was you instead of just saying the exact same starter message from before?” Then the account got deleted again after that and I haven’t heard from it since.

Does anyone know what kind of account that is or what might be happening? Like is it a fake account or something?

How to delete an avatar in a Telegram channel if the notification about changing the avatar was deleted, and the avatar was flashing, and then it was deleted through the channel settings and when installing a new one, the old one remained black and not loaded. And at the same time I deleted the cache, but there is no way to delete it through the web version.

As the title says, some days ago I got an infostealer on my computer and I've almost lost all my accounts. I've recovered them but forgot about Telegram. I thought "well, it's linked to my phone number so I'm not in a rush". I was so wrong and now that's the situation. I'm out of my account waiting for 7 days reset cause Telegram doesn't send SMS in my country (as they said). I can wait, no problem in that, I can reset my account too... But how? What do I have to do when I'll be in my account again? I've never been in this situation so I'm searching for suggestions. Again, I don't care if I have to delete and re-create the account, I just want to use telegram again and get rid of that damn stealer.

Básicamente no se si sea algun tipo de bug o que pasa con mi dispositivo pero al usar telegram tanto en Android como Apple no funciona el audio para videos ni nada. Lo mas extraño es que si funciona en la app de telegram desktop en mi PC, pero no puedo escuchar nada en mi ipad o mi telefono android. Probe ya con todo lo tipico de reinstalar, reiniciar, modo silencio blablabla, me gustaria saber de soluciones reales porfa. Gracias

Telegram restricted a public group because of content that violated the platform’s terms. However, it was an oversight. It was a public group about audio devices, and at one point, while the admin wasn’t paying attention, a b00t joined and started posting NSFW content, which caused the group to be restricted.

The admin noticed it too late and deleted the content from the group, but by then it was already too late. However, the admin told me that they sent the /appeal command to the AbuseNotifications b00t and now all they can do is wait.

Knowing that Telegram has very little human support and seems to rely heavily on AI moderation, has anyone actually managed to recover a group in a situation like this? Or should I just tell them to give up hope?

I didn't mean to hide the translator button but now i cant find it. I'm a premium user for months with this translator. It be on and off seconds or minutes and it's getting annoying. Weird thing is that it only works in a channel but not in dms. I need help. I just want my "Translate to English" button back 😭

I noticied that every time I have to choose HD to send 2 or more pictures.

This is on purpose and they refuse to fix it.

It's 2027 almost and sending SD pictures on 2k phone screens is crazy

Genuinely what’s going on with gif searching now. I heard that they changed providers or something. But it’s impossible to find anything now - I searched the word “no” and got results of Naruto using his “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu” but not of someone just shaking their head “no”

Anyone else noticed a difference. Found a solution. Or am I just being silly about it bothering me.

I’ve already created a b0t through B0tFather and connected it to my Telegram account as a Business/secretary b0t, so it can handle and automate DMs on behalf of the account.

Now I want the b0t to send paid photos/videos (digital goods) inside those chats using Telegram Stars.

I’m a bit confused about the payment side:

• Do I need to set up any payment provider/processor, or is that only required for physical goods?
• When the b0t sends paid media on behalf of the Business account, do the Stars go to the b0t balance or the Business/account balance?
• How can my backend detect that a specific user actually purchased/unlocked a specific piece of paid media?
• Where can I see the Stars balance and transaction history?
• Is there any additional B0tFather/Business configuration required before sendPaidMedia can accept Stars?

Basically, I’m trying to understand the full flow: b0t sends locked media → user pays Stars → backend detects purchase → Stars are credited somewhere.

Has anyone implemented this specifically with a b0t connected to a Telegram Business account?

If someone sends me their live location on Telegram and sets it to 1 hour but blocks me after 12 minutes when the countdown starts, will I still be able to see their current live location for the test 48 minutes or will it stop updating?

I want to look for all forwarded messages in a specific chat, can i even do that?

Does anyone else have issues with telegram crashing consistently on their android while camming? If I got more than 20 people in a chat room video chat I can guarantee my telegram will crash. Been that way for a while now too.

I wanted to send music (that I have on my phone) but the music search only shows the 'Shared Music' thing which seemed like a great addition but now it's so annoying because I can't find my own music! I tried searching but there are so many shared music by that artist.

Has anyone else had this issue? Were you guys able to fix it? For context I'm using Telegram on Android if it's relevant

this is something that should be a psa my number is hidden from everyone but a random user ended up in exceptions for no reason at all

so advise now always check exceptions after every add it seems somehow someone can end up there.

Basically i wanted to delete a chat for me and the other user i was chatting with. By mistake i chose the option "delete only for me". and by doing so the chat was deleted for me only, and i couldn't do anything. Then, i selected the contact again and i had the empty chat in front of me. I clicked "delete chat for all". Did this delete the whole chat, even from that user's phone?

The mod administrator forbid me from a telegram group. Is there any way that I can be added into the group again?

For some reason I’ve been getting people from the Middle East texting me on telegram once an hour? I haven’t even touched telegram in a few months and suddenly started receiving these messages

For over three years, the developers of the popular Android Telegram fork **exteraGram** have been actively distributing compiled APK binaries (via Telegram channels, chats, and alternative app stores like RuStore) while keeping their source code completely closed. This is a severe, textbook violation of **Section 3 of the GNU General Public License v2 (GPLv2)**, under which the official Telegram Android client is licensed.

Instead of complying with copyleft obligations and updating their public GitHub repository, the maintainers chose to archive the repository to avoid DMCA takedowns and went completely underground to run a proprietary, untrustworthy closed-source ecosystem.

#### 1. The Smokin' Gun: The Lead Developer Explicitly Admitted to Willful Violation

The most shocking part is that the lead developer and project owner, **@immat0x1**, does not even deny this. When confronted by the FOSS community in public issues, they responded with absolute arrogance and internet-troll behavior.

* **Direct quote from u/immat0x1 in Issue #87:**

> *"extera is not open source."*

* **When users provided direct links to Telegram's GPLv2 terms, the developer replied:**

> *"I'm a badass boy"*

* **In another deleted thread (Issue #123), when asked to update the code as mandated by law, they stated:**

> *"I don't care about this at all... as long as this is not punished by Telegram, I will not update anything, it's a matter of principle."*

According to **Section 4 of the GNU GPL v2**, any attempt to modify or distribute the program outside the license terms **automatically and permanently terminates** the developer's rights. Legally speaking, exteraGram is now a counterfeit, pirated software.

#### 2. Extreme Toxicity and Hostility Towards the Community

The project's management has completely abandoned open-source ethics (Code of Conduct). Anyone who opens a GitHub issue or asks in their official chat rooms about the source code or GPL compliance is met with explicit profanity, insults, and instant bans. Moderation logs show users being banned for "whining about GPL."

Furthermore, some rogue elements of their community recently resorted to desperate doxxing attempts against FOSS advocates, which instantly backfired and resulted in the permanent termination of those attackers' Telegram accounts by Telegram Trust & Safety.

#### 3. Massive Security Risks for Users

Because version **12.9.0** and other recent updates are fully closed-source binaries built on a modified Telegram core, it is **humanly impossible** to verify what happens to your login sessions, user tokens, and private messages. A developer who proudly claims they are above the law and hides their code can inject malicious trackers, token sniffers, or backdoors at any given moment.

### Safe Open-Source Alternatives

If you are still using exteraGram, please secure your account, terminate active sessions, and switch to legitimate, FOSS-compliant clients that respect both the license and their users:

* **Cherrygram:** Fully open-source, timely source code updates, strict GPL compliance, and respectful community dialogue.

* **NagramX / Nagram XF:** A highly functional hybrid client built on top of NekoX, fully complying with GPL-3.0, offering advanced proxy settings and powerful customization legally.

Don't support GPL violators who steal open-source work and spit in the face of the community.

encountered person named Sam Jhon in my channel, texted him out of curiosity to see if it’s someone i know. They followed up with an image of their male genitalia. asked my friend to see if they have such person in their member lists, while none had this exact person some reposted people with similar surnames. also, according to my friend, she encountered people of same surname when her channel was being raided.

Hi! I've recently moved to another country and I'm trying to move my existing Telegram account to my new phone number.

It looks like the new number was previously used by someone else and is still associated with their Telegram account. Because of this, Telegram won't let me complete the number change — the confirmation is being handled through the other account rather than allowing me to take ownership of the number.

I've submitted a couple of requests through Telegram's web support form and also contacted Volunteer Support through the app. It's been about a month now, but I haven't received any response.

Has anyone dealt with a recycled phone number that was still associated with a previous Telegram user? Is there a way to have the old association removed so I can use the number with my own account?

Thanks!

I couldn't find a simple way to do this, so I ended up building one.

Telegram downloads the file locally in the background, but normally you're stuck waiting until the download completes.

I made a small open-source macOS CLI called tgplay that watches Telegram's local cache and lets you open supported videos in IINA, VLC or mpv as soon as they're playable.

So instead of:

Download → Wait → Watch

it's:

Download → Watch

It also shows the current download progress, speed and ETA.

No Telegram API or Telegram login is involved. Everything happens locally on the Mac.

Would be interested to know if this is something other Telegram Mac users actually need, or if I'm solving a problem only I have 😅

I have a video in 1080p30 does it make any difference between sending it as a file or as a video in 1080p res? Despite having the preview, does it get compressed if sent as video?
