How to enable comments in Telegram

Comments in Telegram are a good tool for increasing engagement , collecting feedback, and building a community.

In this article, we will figure out how to allow subscribers to leave messages under Telegram channel posts. And at the end, we will answer frequently asked questions related to commenting.

Step 1: Link a group and channel

Technically, comments in Telegram are not some special functionality. The messenger simply distributes discussions in a group chat to the industry email list corresponding posts of the channel. That is why you first need to connect the group to the channel to use the built-in comments.

Telegram has two desktop versions: “K” and “A”. Each version connects a group for commenting differently. The main difference is that in version “A” you can’t create a group directly through the channel settings. You must first create a group what you can expect after 6 months of inbound marketing and only then link it to the channel.

Create a group in a channel in Telegram Desktop, version “A”:

• Open the desired channel, click on the three vertical dots at the top.
• Select “Edit” → click on “Discussion”.
• Next, select the desired group and click “Link group”.

Create a group in a channel in Telegram Desktop, version “K”:

• Open the channel → click on the channel header → click on the pencil at the top right.
• Select “Discussion” → “Create group”.
• Then Telegram itself will suggest a name, you can change it, add a logo to the group.

To enable comments in a Telegram channel on your phone, you need to do something similar:

• Open the channel, click on its name or logo in the header.
• Click on the pencil icon in the upper right corner → select “Discussion”.
• Specify an existing group or create a new one for subscribers to communicate with.

Done — the group is linked to the channel. Each publication will be automatically reposted from the channel to the group. Under new posts in the betting data channel, a “Comment” button will appear, which will open the corresponding discussion thread.

Step 2: Set up a discussion group

Now you can change the default settings, add some restrictions. If you open a connected group, click on the three vertical dots and select “Edit”, in the “Permissions” section you will find:

Member options. Here you can, for example, prohibit sending stickers , gifs and media files – to eliminate spam in this format.

Slow mode. Time limits on sending messages – a protection option against mass spam .

Blacklist. In the future, it will be possible to add here anyone who violates the rules of communication in any way.
