Step-by-Step Guide

Adjust Profile and Group Settings

Firstly, you can customize your profile picture and information. To do this, simply go to your profile and change the desired settings. You can also search for information in the group at any time using the search function on the right. If you want to avoid interruptions, you can also mute the group.

Sending Messages and Files

In the chat, you can quickly send messages and add emojis to make your messages more lively. By using the paperclip, you have the option to send pictures and videos. Furthermore, you can also share files such as Excel spreadsheets and PDFs from your device or download folder.

Sharing Location

An important feature in group chats is the ability to share your location. This is especially useful when multiple people want to gather for a meeting. You can either send your location as a live map so that others can easily follow the way or as a simple text message.

Creating Polls

The polling function is one of the most exciting options in Telegram. Here you can simply ask a question, such as "Have you had coffee today?". Add answer options like "Yes" and "No". You can also create polls with multiple answer options to gather specific information.

There is also the option to conduct anonymous voting. This means that other users cannot see what you have chosen, which often increases participation readiness. Make sure you can also enable multiple choice if you want to offer a survey with multiple decisions.

Quiz Mode

If you want to add something interactive, you can also use the quiz mode. Here you can formulate specific questions and set the answers. This could be useful, for example, for customer surveys. Participants can earn points in each quiz, which increases interaction in the group chat.

Music and Voice Messages

With the paperclip, you can also add music files. Use this function, for example, to share your own audio recordings. Audio messages are also easy to use. Just press the microphone to record a voice message. This can be particularly helpful in groups where things need to move quickly.

Final Thoughts on Groups and Channels

Groups in Telegram are designed to promote interaction among members, while channels are primarily responsible for spreading information. In channels, only admins can write, creating a different dynamic in communication.

Summary

In this tutorial, you have learned about numerous functions of Telegram in group chats. From simple message delivery to more complex features like polls and voice messages, Telegram enables a versatile and interactive communication design in groups.
