How to Bulk Invite Members in your Telegram Group or Channel

Telegram is gaining more and more ground against WhatsApp and other messaging apps, because it has higher potential: for example when we want to create a group or channel.

WhatsApp is undoubtedly the most used and known instant messaging service in our part, but the rival Telegram with the passage of time and thanks to a series of advantages in certain respects has been able to conquer a rather large slice of the public in the world.

Among the advantages of Telegram compared to WhatsApp and not only there is the fact of being able to create groups with an incredibly high number of members: up to 256 people can be hosted on WhatsApp, while on Telegramthe limit is set to 200 thousand participants.

It is not the only advantage that is obtained by creating a group on Telegram, since, just to name another, the service allows you to create polls that are certainly useful for putting something to the vote. It goes without saying that for certain purposes these are not insignificant advantages, so it is worth knowing how to create a Telegram group and how to send an invitation to simplify the entry of participants.

How to create a Telegram Group

In principle, creating a group on Telegram is a very simple operation, but those who have never used the application may encounter some difficulties, so it is better to proceed by steps.

After downloading Telegram for Android smartphones or iOS devices, having registered and opened the app, you need to:

Tap the symbol with the three horizontal lines at the top left on Android or the pencil symbol at the top right on iOS
select the item “New group”
Choose the contacts to add to the group from those in the address book or by searching for them by username in the “Add people …” field on Android or “Who would you like to add?” on iOS
Enter the name of the group in the appropriate field and tap on the camera symbol if you want to take or upload an image that will become the group’s identification icon
Confirm to create the Telegram group

Once the creation of the Telegram group is complete, you can proceed to define its details, such as entering a description, changing or uploading the image of the group, adding new members or setting administrators. Creating a Telegram group from a PC involves steps that are completely similar to those described above.

We also remind you that it is possible to both create a Telegram group and participate in it even if we use Telegram without a telephone number.

How to send an invitation to a Telegram group

As we said, inviting one or more friends to join a Telegram group is a fairly simple operation, but to avoid any doubts, here is a step-by-step explanation of how to do it whether you have an Android smartphone or one with iOS.

Open Telegram and enter the group to be shared
Tap on the group name at the top of the screen
Tap the item “Add member”
Select the item “Invite via link” which is placed above the contact list

At this point the invitation link to the Telegram group is displayed at the top of the screen, and you have two options: write down the link, usually very short, and send it individually to the people to invite, or, and it is the simplest way, select the item “Share link” which displays a list of applications installed on the smartphone that can be used to forward the invitation link to the group.

Once you have chosen the app to use to send the invitation to the Telegram group, a message is automatically created containing the link to populate or repopulate the Telegram group.

How to bulk send invitations for your Telegram Group or Channel
