In the Telegram messenger you can conduct personal conversations and create group chats for various purposes. There are also concepts such as supergroups and bots. Let's consider them too.
General information about groups
Group chats in this messenger are created for an obvious purpose: to communicate and discuss topics with several people at the same time. It is very comfortable. It doesn’t matter whether these are friendly conversations or communication at work.
Groups in Telegram are divided into two types: open (when any participant can join the conversation) and closed (where you can only get through one of the participants - someone must add you themselves). If you are the creator of the chat, you can define this type yourself.
There are a lot of open conversations on Telegram. There are very useful and interesting group chats. For example, there are conversations for tourists and city residents, where they describe the weather, indicate where there are traffic jams, and other useful things. Thus, a person is always aware of what is happening around him.

If your Telegram conversation consists of 1000 participants or more, you can change its status to a supergroup. What are supergroups?
These are conversations with a large number of participants (up to 5000 people). Here the user gets the opportunity to delete messages and files. For example, if you sent an unnecessary file by mistake, you can delete it immediately. This way, none of the participants in the conversation will even guess that you sent something wrong.
Please note that only the chat creator or supergroup administrator can add users and remove them from the list.

The channel provides its subscribers with various information depending on the topic. Any Telegram user can create such communities.
To choose which type of association of interests is best to organize, you should familiarize yourself with their capabilities. Regular Telegram groups have a limited number of participants and are intended only for a narrow circle of people. When opening a new community, it is important to decide on its purpose.

The same steps are performed for the computer version of the application. By default, such a union will be private, but if you decide to convert it to a supergroup (“Upgrade to supergroup”), then it will become public and can be displayed in search.

Group management
Chats and channels are managed with administrator rights using a large number of options that allow you to change the name, description, upload photos, and clear history. These features are available through settings.
Pinning entries

Have a good day and good mood everyone. Friends, I’ll be honest, the more I immerse myself in Telegram, the more I like it. Communication has become fast, colorful and secret. Today I’ll tell you how to create a chat in Telegram and how to add up to 5,000 people there. Traditionally, there will be instructions that everyone can understand with an abundance of screenshots.
Create a new group
Instructions will be for the version with a Russian interface. A special post has been written about how to make it this way. I recommend reading it right now.

Come up with a name for the group and click the checkbox.
On the computer press three sticks to enter the menu. Next - “Create a group”.
Select participants and click “Create”.
It is done.
Online version similar to a computer one, only a slightly different interface. We also go to the menu - create a group - select participants - come up with an original name. Ready. Look at the screenshots.
Control
By default, the community creator becomes an admin, but these powers can be delegated. There is such a function as “Assign administrators”, i.e. you choose who exactly will be the administrator. It’s easy to find, just click on the name, and then it depends on the device.
On the phone it looks like this.
On PC, the feature is called "Manage Administrators".
There is no such option in the online version.
Here the developers got a little confused and scattered the settings in different places. Look carefully.
On the phone Look for the first part of the settings by the three dots to the right of the name.
The second part opens after clicking on the name.
The last piece will open if you tap on the button with three dots.
In PC version— a button with three dots to the right of the login.
Additional settings open by clicking on the name.
In the web version The additional buttons are the same, but the design is slightly different.
How to add members to a group
An administrator can add a person to a regular or closed group manually or by sending a special invitation link. The algorithm is simple, you need to find the “Add participants” item in the settings, then select them from the contact list.
Manually

And just like that - in the online version.
Via invitation link
From your phone, go to information about the group.
Click “Add Member”.
On your computer, also go to group information. The Russified version will have a “Create invitation link” button. In English, you will need to click “Edit” and only then will it be possible to create an invitation link.
How to leave a chat
If you are a simple participant
On the phone, click on the name, then on the button with three dots, then “Leave group”.
It’s easier on a computer; you can use three points to get to the exit at once.
In the online version, you need to go to the menu through the chat name, find yourself and click “Leave”.
You are an administrator
You can only leave a group by deleting it. The location of the settings is the same. Please be careful. Think twice before deleting; it will be impossible to restore your message history afterwards. This is the specificity of the secret messenger.
Accordingly, you can return to the chat if you left it through the administrator, if it is a closed public. If it is public, then the return is made by clicking on the “Join” button.
Method 1. Search within the application.
Not the most convenient option, because you need to accurately spell the name. In the format @group_name. For example, I was looking for a fairly popular community for communication between Muscovites.
Method 2. Google will tell you the names of popular communities.
Let’s say you type into the search the phrase “telegram chat for furry cat lovers.” Did you find what you were looking for? To add, click “Join” at the very bottom.

Telegram: how to create a group in the web version
How to create a group in Telegram through a browser without using a special client? You need to follow the instructions:
- Log in to your account (or create a new one) on the website: web.telegram.org.
- In the upper left corner, click on the menu button (three horizontal lines).
- In the window that pops up, click on the New Group line, located at the very top of the list.
- Here is a list of contacts. By clicking on the desired names, we add the selected friends to the future chat. There must be more than one name to create a polylogue.
- Click on the NEXT button. In the new window you need to enter the name of the new discussion. That's it - the community has been created.
Usually there are no problems with this process. However, it may fail due to technical reasons.
If you plan to develop a chat as a public one in order to popularize ideas or make money, you need to choose a name that is sonorous, interesting, original and attention-grabbing. You will also need to create an avatar and choose a beautiful picture for the background. The peculiarities of Telegram groups are their relative confidentiality and the ability to make the dialogue private if desired. In addition, the mobile system allows you to edit your group chat profile at any time. Another significant advantage is the ability to add bots and thereby expand the functionality.
Types of communities in the application
In the chat management menu, you can convert it into a supergroup. For full subsequent use, it is necessary that all participants in mass communication have the latest version of the program. The difference between groups and supergroups in Telegram is that a supergroup can accommodate up to a thousand active participants, while a regular community is limited to two hundred. Newcomers to the supergroup will have access to the entire history; deleting posts will remove them from all participants; notifications will be disabled.
The difference between groups and telegram channels is that in a group all participants actively exchange information, and the channels are designed for mass broadcasts.
