Best Telegram Groups

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging applications at the moment, and although it does not have the same number of users as WhatsApp , it is still the main alternative.

One of the main features of Telegram (and the reason why we prefer it to WhatsApp) are its channels and groups , which are ideal for staying informed or chatting about different topics.

Anyone can create a Telegram channel so there are millions of them . Something similar happens with Telegram groups : they admit thousands and thousands of members, so there are some that are very active.

In that sense, we have compiled the 149 best Telegram channels that you can join this year, so you will always be up to date with the topics that interest you the most (for example, if your thing is Android and mobiles, you can join the channel of Andro4all , but if what you want is to receive the best memes , you also have some other channel available ).

Of course, before entering fully into the subject, let's see the differences between a group and a channel and thus avoid confusion . Join us!

What is the difference between a Telegram channel and a group?

Both Telegram groups and channels can host thousands of users, however they have some differences that you should keep in mind :

Telegram groups

Groups are chats with diverse people who share the same interests. They can host up to 200,000 users , and have their own system of administrators and moderators who control the conversation. Each group has its rules and permissions, as well as its visibility: there are Telegram groups that are public and others for which you need an invitation .

Telegram channels

Channels are like a kind of group in which a single member transmits messages . In a few words, the most noticeable difference is that in the channels you will not be able to interact as in the groups . You will only be able to see what the administrators send, so a Telegram channel works as an informative portal (although it is possible to pin messages and chat in them).

Likewise, unlike Telegram groups, all channels are public , so anyone can find and join them without an invitation. It is enough to have the name or the URL of it.

Keep in mind that today a good part of the channels also work as groups since Telegram allows you to link a chat to the channels. Thus, every time a new message is published in the channel, we can start a conversation in a separate space. The main difference with the groups is that, instead of having a single conversation for everything, each message will generate its own conversation.
