AI Admins for Groups. Groups can add AI bots as admins to process join requests with unique features like captcha support.

Telegram Communities. Several groups, channels and bots can be linked together in a single community, where members can view and join other chats instantly.

Admins in communities have granular privacy controls that allow them to hide certain chats and control whether members can add new chats or only admins.

Communities save space in your chat list — you can toggle whether it appears as separate chats or one chat that expands when opened.

Welcome Messages. Group and channel owners can create messages to greet new members and give them extra info.

Welcome messages are only visible to each new member – and can include media, rich formatting and more.

To add a welcome message in your group or channel, open its profile and select Edit > Welcome Message.
