How To Stop Bots From Joining Telegram Group

When you have a Telegram group, you can share the invitation link to the group to get more members to your group. While this is great in helping your Telegram group get more members, you will get that spam bots may end up joining your group, which you do not want. So, how can you stop bots from joining your Telegram group?

Quick Answer

When you want to stop bots from joining your Telegram group, the first option is to revoke the Telegram invite link and only share it with specific people or manually add members. Another solution is to add a verification bot that will use a captcha option to verify new members joining your group. That way, anyone who fails to verify will be classified as a bot and their membership revoked. Lastly, restrict members from adding others.

We will begin by discussing whether bots can join your Telegram group and how they manage to join. Further, we will see different options you can use to help you stop bots from joining the Telegram group.

Do Bots Join Telegram Groups?

Telegram has plenty of bots designed with various agendas. Most bots are designed to spam Telegram users, and you will find the bots sending spamming links and media files to target group members.

As the group owner or admin, bots are your enemy as they break people’s trust in your group. Besides, when bots control your group, they spam members and degrade your brand. Hence, you must find a way to filter and stop bots from joining your Telegram group.

Bots mainly join a Telegram group when you share the invitation link to the group or when your Telegram group is publicly available for anyone to join. Besides, if you’ve given the members permission to add people to the group, they will likely add bots to your group, which is unfavorable.
