Telegram Has A Popular Feature Called Channel, Which Any User Can Access And Publish Their Desired Post.

A simple search in Telegram of different people is enough to understand the popularity and relevance of channels among users. Currently, we see large media with hundreds of thousands or even millions of members, whose number is increasing day by day. Tracks are more professional versions of groups that, with some essential differences we will introduce below, have succeeded in creating a popular and practical forum.

• The first difference is that in the channel, only the admin will be able to post, and the rest of the members will be readers. This significant positive point prevents the publication of unnecessary content and spam in the channel, and the track’s path will always continue in a fixed direction.

• The second difference between a channel and a group is how to join it. To join the group, you need to receive an invitation from one of the current members. Still, the channels were left open, like Instagram’s public pages, and it is enough to become a member by visiting them and touching the Join option.

• The third difference is in the number of members, so the capacity of groups will be 5,000 people, while channels can even have millions of members.

• The fourth difference is viewing the list of members, unlike groups, where any person could view other users who are members of the group; in channels, only the admin has this ability. For this reason, possible disturbances are minimized.

The above differences have made it ideal for creating a channel for famous people, news agencies, brands, etc., and sometimes some people are more active on their Telegram channel than on their official page on Instagram, for which the reasons are somewhat straightforward.

Posting on Telegram is incredibly faster and easier than any other social network; there is no limit on the number of text characters, video time, and file format; each post’s number of views is written below it. It must be admitted that the Telegram channel is one of the ideal options for Setting up a personal page in the virtual world is considered.

But the Telegram channel is in no way limited to famous people or brands and news agencies. Almost any group that has access to Telegram can create a channel. By the way, the most prominent Iranian media in terms of the number of members are also limited to the same non-famous group, which by launching Channels of entertainment, jokes, education, cooking, etc., have gained tremendous popularity among users.

A little search among the Telegram channels is enough to realize that almost any topic can be found in the media.

In addition to entertainment channels, there are also many channels in the fields of education, news, etc., which are very useful and informative for users, and users have greatly welcomed them.

We should also mention that if you have many members on your Telegram channel, you can generate income through advertising. Hence, some channels earn several million monthly with an increased number of members.

Suppose this potential of generating income and the possibility of presenting personal or public content to your audience has tempted you to have a channel. In that case, you can learn how to create a Telegram channel to continue the text and establish your channel.

What is the difference between public and private Telegram channels?

First, let’s answer an important question; What is the difference between public and private Telegram channels? These two modes have slight differences, which we will continue to introduce.

• The first difference: public channels are displayed in Telegram search results, but private channels will be out of the scope of the search, and to join them, you “must” have the invitation link. You can browse the posts in public media by visiting the channel without becoming a member. In private channels, you must first confirm your membership in the pipeline; then, you can enter the channel environment and view the posts. Of course, this issue is unimportant because you can refer to the channel settings, hit the red Leave option, and leave the channel.

• The second difference is that in public channels, the number of channel members is written below its name, and you can find the number of channel members. But in private media, this number will not be shown to you, and you can only guess the number of channel members from the number of posts.

• The third difference: The most crucial difference between public and private channels is how to join them. Public channels can create IDs and short links for themselves. This is impossible in private channels, and you cannot set an id or quick link for your channel. Your sharing link will be something like https://telegram.me/joinchat/ABUjtz2O-cIkbFXqqx-4tg, which will prevent sharing. It will be tough in printed documents.
