Some Functions of a Telegram Channel

Telegram channel is one of the most brilliant features telegrams has come up with. They allow you to send messages, actually broadcast messages, to a limitless number of people or subscribers to be correct, and that too safely and instantly.

In other words, it is a power-charged version of the WhatsApp Broadcast list, and it is a medium for one-way broadcast messages.

When new subscribers join a Telegram channel, they can see the entire message history right from the get-go. This feature is also available in Telegram groups. However, you can turn off the chat history feature in group settings if you don’t want the new members to see the earlier messages.

Telegram groups can have up to 200,000 users, and they can also be made open to the public. Channels, on the other hand, are specifically designed for broadcasting messages to a larger audience. They aren’t designed for conversations.

You are allowed to have an unlimited number of subscribers to a public or private channel. Public channels get their own URL

Only the channel owner or the admin are allowed to post on the channel, each message even has a view count and details of who shared the message in the first place. Channels can include rich media like video, audio, polls, and more.

  • Your channel can have a unlimited number of members and subscribers.
  • You can use them to boost your sales, make additional profit from ads, increase brand awareness, even enhance customer service.

Final Take by Tecvalue

A few years ago, 2013 to be precise, Pavel Durov-often nicknamed Russia’s Zuckerberg- presented an app to the world initially meant for only messaging but later evolved in establishing dominance over its other competitors by providing the most secure and reliable data sharing and receiving as well as social media marketing services.

What makes Telegram unique is its focus on privacy, encryption, and it is also of an open-source nature. It also allows multiple devices to access the same account (verified by SMS) and even multiple accounts on the same device, something even Whatsapp couldn’t pull off!

There are numerous unofficial clients to go along with the official Telegram apps and web interface.

New monetisation methods include ads on public one-to-many channels (with functions similar to Twitter feeds), premium features for business teams and power users, and even a brand new set of paid sticker packs.

Some of these funds will go back to users in the form of enhanced visibility for channels or payments to creators of unique sticker packs, a business model rarely seen among social networking applications.

It surprisingly gives out a humorous style targeting the younger spectra of the readers who go through his articles. Basim also dabbles in literature, which is evident in how he expresses (or even exaggerates !) some parts of his technical write-ups.
