Telegram restrictions
Telegram is one of the most popular messaging platforms in many countries. But when it comes to increasing members, many people act without knowing Telegram’s rules and restrictions and sometimes face problems such as reporting, blocking or deleting channels. In this article, we will try to review in simple terms all the rules related to increasing members, Telegram restrictions and legal ways to grow.
Why is it important to know Telegram restrictions?
To prevent abuse, spam and harassment of users, Telegram has set rules that, if not followed, may result in:
Account blocking
Channel or group deletion
Reduction of access
Restrictions on sending messages or inviting members
So, to increase Telegram members, you must be familiar with the policies of this platform.
General Telegram restrictions on increasing members
Limit on number of invitations through personal accounts
Telegram allows each user to add only up to 200 of their contacts to a group or channel. This number is fixed and more is not possible, except through advertising or membership links.
Limit on sending promotional messages to unknown people
Sending promotional messages to those who do not have your number saved or do not know you can result in a report and, as a result, your account being restricted.
Limit on creating multiple channels with one number
In Telegram, you can create multiple channels with each account, but if the activity of all of them is similar and spammy, the risk of blocking or restriction is high.
Especially when you forcefully add a large number of members.
Restrictions on adding users to a channel
If users are added to a channel without their consent (through methods such as forced add or specific APIs), Telegram may detect this action as spam and limit the account or channel.
Restrictions on the use of virtual numbers
Using virtual numbers to create multiple accounts to add members, in many cases leads to:
Immediate blocking of the account
Failure to receive an activation code
Failure to be approved by Telegram
Telegram API limitations
If you use a bot or panel to add members, you should know:
Adding members quickly and in large numbers via the API is against Telegram policies.
Each account is allowed a certain number of API requests per day.
Violating these restrictions will result in blocking the IP or API Key.
Restrictions on sending channel links in groups or chats
Continuous sending of channel links or advertisements in private chats or groups may be reported by users and result in restrictions on sending messages or temporary blocking.
Official Telegram rules for channels and groups
Telegram rules for channels:
Immoral, violent or fraudulent content is prohibited.
Channels must have a specific purpose.
Using images, logos or other brand names without permission is prohibited.
Buying and selling accounts, fake members, etc. is against Telegram’s official policy.
Telegram rules for groups:
Groups with more than 200 members must become supergroups.
Group management must be transparent (if a violation is reported, Telegram will ask the administrator for an explanation).
Bots in the group should not automatically send too many messages (this may result in the bot or group being blocked).
How to increase members without violating Telegram’s restrictions?
Using targeted advertising methods
Instead of adding force, use advertising on related channels. For example:
Banner advertising on channels similar to your field
Publishing a channel introduction post with a direct link
Collaboration with Telegram influencers
Attracting members by producing valuable content
Good content brings members on its own. When the content is valuable, people send it to their friends, causing the channel to grow naturally.
Implementing invitation campaigns with prizes
You can hold a contest for members:
“If you invite 3 people to the channel, you will be entered into a drawing”
This method is both legal and attractive.
Using reputable member purchasing services
Some sites offer real member purchasing services in compliance with Telegram rules. These members are attracted by real advertising methods, not forced ads.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it legal to buy Telegram members?
If real and promotional methods are used, yes. But fake members or forced ads are against Telegram policies.
- How many channels can be created with one number?
There is no limit to the number of channels, but in case of similar and suspicious activity, the account may be limited.
- How does Telegram detect member churn?
By examining user activity and their behavior (such as quickly leaving the channel or not interacting), the Telegram algorithm detects that membership acquisition has been abnormal.
