What are Telegram Bots?
As we have told in the home page of this web, Telegram bots are like small programs that run within the Telegram app. These bots are created by third-party developers using the Telegram Bot API, offering various functionalities to enhance your Telegram experience.
How to Create a Telegram Bot
Creating a Telegram bot is simple if you have some programming knowledge. If you’re confident in your skills, you can start with the Step by Step guide to create a Bot post. Unfortunately, if you’re not a developer, there aren’t any out-of-the-box solutions for creating a bot. However, you can still explore and use numerous bots created by other developers.
How to Stop a Bot from Messaging You
If a bot is sending you unwanted messages, you can block it just as you would block a human user. In many Telegram clients, there’s a ‘Stop Bot’ button right in the bot’s profile. Additionally, most bot developers provide commands to mute the bot. Check the bot’s /help command for more details.
Are Telegram Bots Safe?
Yes, Telegram bots are generally safe and function similarly to human users in terms of interaction. They can see your public name, username, profile pictures, and messages you send to them. However, they cannot access your last seen status or phone number unless you provide it.
Treat bots as you would any stranger. Do not share sensitive information like passwords, Telegram codes, or bank account numbers. Be cautious when opening files sent by bots, just as you would with files from unknown human users. For example, avoid opening suspicious files like “OpenMe.exe” from a bot.
Bots in Groups: Can They Read Your Messages?
Bots added to groups can operate in two modes:
- Default Mode: Bots only see messages directed at them. In this case, the bot will be listed as ‘has no access to messages’ in the group members list.
- Non-Privacy Mode: Some bots require more information to function correctly, so their developers may disable privacy mode. In this mode, the bot can see all messages in the group, and you’ll see ‘has access to messages’ next to the bot in the members list.
If your group handles very sensitive information, consider not adding bots you don’t fully trust.
Are Telegram Bots Official?
Most Telegram bots are not created by Telegram itself. While Telegram has a few official bots for specific purposes (such as @gif or @Stickers), the majority are developed by third-party developers using the Telegram Bot API.
