Telegram Channels: How to Find and Join Telegram Channels on Android, iOS Mobiles and PC

Here is everything you need to know about the Telegram channels.

Telegram is amongst the few popular messaging apps used by millions of people all over the globe. The app was introduced back in 2013 and even after 9 years, the app is a rival to the Meta-owned WhatsApp. Compared to WhatsApp, Telegram offers a whole bunch of features like multi-device connectivity, large groups, interactive stickers, bots, channels, and much more. 

Telegram channels are a means of communication with a large audience via text or any other media like photos, videos, or a gif. The main difference here is that channels are one-way communication, which means only admins or the owner of the channel can send messages. This makes it less cluttered and less spam compared to the large group. In this guide, we will take a look at what is a channel and how one can join and channel on multiple platforms like Android, iOS, Web, and desktop apps.

What Are Telegram Channels?

A Channel is a large group with one-way messaging where only admins will be able to post or share messages. There is no upper limit for the number of people who can be part of a telegram channel. Any telegram user can create a channel and share the link to expand the channel. 

Usually, these channels will be used to broadcast a message or news to a large user base. A channel can be publicly available allowing other users to join using the link or by searching. Users can join and leave channels at any time. A lot of new publications and YouTubers have their official channels on Telegram, which allows them to stay connected with their community. Admins can make the channel private and also they can disable screenshots, message forwarding and saving data in their communities.
