Step-by-Step Guide

To create a group chat in Telegram, please follow the steps below:

1. Access Group Creation

First, open the Telegram app. Click on the three lines in the upper left corner to open the menu. There you will find the option "New Group."

2. Select Members

Now you can select the members you want to add to the group. Tap on the contacts you want to invite to your group. Telegram allows you to add up to 200,000 members, which is particularly useful if you want to build a large community.

3. Set Group Name

After adding your members, tap "Next" and you will be able to set a group name. You could name it "Friends" or "Business Talk," for example. A suitable name helps members to better identify the group.

4. Add Profile Picture

In addition to the group name, you can also add a profile picture. You can either choose a picture from your gallery or take a new photo. It is important that the picture is appealing and relevant to your group's theme.

5. Group Description

Now you also have the option to add a description for your group, describing the topics or goals of the group. This description helps new members to quickly understand what the group is about.

6. Determine Group Type

Decide whether your group should be private or public. In a private group, users can only join if they receive an invitation link, while a public group can be found by anyone using Telegram.

7. Notifications and Permissions

You can set different notification options and permissions for members. Determine what members are allowed to do, such as sending stickers or polls. You also have the option to activate a "Slow Mode," which enforces a pause between messages to prevent the chat from being overwhelmed.

8. Manage Administrators

As a group administrator, you have the ability to make other members administrators. You can specify the permissions that the new administrators should receive. Think carefully about whom you grant which rights to.

9. Delete or Leave Group

If you no longer need the group, you can delete it at any time or leave the group yourself. Note that if you are the group owner and you leave the group, it will be deleted.

10. Group Interaction

Now that your group is set up, you can get started! Write messages, share attachments, add emojis, and encourage other members to be active. Telegram offers you a variety of features to promote interaction in your group.
