Viewing channel subscribers is available only to the administrator. Others can only see their number.There are currently no tools that would show who subscribed to a channel and unsubscribed from it, like, for example, in VKontakte. Therefore, tracking dynamics can be organized using bots. We will talk about this below.

Author’s signature

If the channel was created by several users, specific publications c level contact list  can be accompanied by an indication of their author. To do this, use the Sign message button in the settings.

After saving the settings, all new posts will be published with a signature.

Those posts that you posted before enabling signatures will remain without an author.

Hashtags

The purpose of hashtags in Telegram is to help sort information. If you click on a hashtag in a channel, all posts with it will open.

Typing a hashtag into the input field allows the user to view all messages with this tag that are in their chats and subscriptions. However, searching for content in channels and chats in which the user is not present is impossible.

If the snippet contains the wrong image, you can reset it via the Webpage bot , but not always.

It is possible to disable the snippet before publishing. To do this, you should delete the link card.

Instant viewing of articles

In November 2016, Telegram introduced the Instant view option calling list   – instant viewing of articles from some sites. When viewing such articles in mobile applications, you can request to receive them in a simplified interface with one click – text with images without banners and pop-ups.

Formatting

By default, text formatting is disabled in Telegram. In messengers for Android devices and iPhone, basic design is available: you can choose bold or italic.

Telegram gives formatting capabilities in its API, so text decoration is possible with the help of bots. This should not be abused: bright links, bold text or italics, especially
