Telegram Tips

Swipe Left to Reply. Replies are threaded, so you can keep conversation topics organized and tap to view the original message. In group chats, replies send a mention notification that the user will see even if they have the chat muted.

SD Card Storage. Go to Settings > Data and Storage > Storage Path on Android to start saving your Telegram media and files to your SD Card. Storage Usage Settings let you free up space on your device – without deleting any messages or media.

Private Channels for Storage. Every Telegram user has unlimited cloud storage, and you can use themed private channels to store all your media and files.

Reminders. You can schedule messages in your Saved Messages chat to remind yourself about future errands and events.

Tap to Preview Stickers. You never have to ask someone where they found their stickers – just tap a sticker in any chat to add the pack to your library.

Change Your Phone Number. If you get a new number, open Settings to update it so your SMS login codes always go to the right place.

Usernames. Create a username for your account to let other users search for your profile – without sharing your phone number.
