How to Join a Telegram Group with Link or Invitation URL

One of the characteristics that distinguish Telegram from other App such as WhatsApps, is that offers the opportunity to join groups or channels which are made up of up to thousands of members. Groups are communities within the messaging network that can address different topics. Later we will show how we can join one of these groups, but first we will see the differences between the groups and the channels.

What are the differences between Telegram groups and channels?

Although public messages can be disseminated through groups or channels, there is a very particular difference between the two. The most marked difference is that through the groups there can be interaction or exchange of information between their members, something that does not happen with the channels.

Any member of the group can invite others to join and you can also post information that will be seen by the rest of the members. In the channels there are so-called administrator users, who are the only ones who can add information to the channel and the rest can only view them, but not comment on them.

How are invitation URLs to Telegram groups generated?

When a member of a group wants to invite someone who is not among their contacts to join the group, they have to generate the invitation URL or link. To do this you must access the group chat and go to the admin settings. Once there, select Add Member, in this case press the option Invite with a link.

Once this is done, Telegram will generate an invitation link that you must copy and send to the person you want to be part of the group. You can send it via email or share it through any other social network you have.

What should I do to join a Telegram group through the link?

The groups or Telegram channels can be public or private. Joining a public group can be done manually by following certain steps or through the group link.

If we have the group link available, we just have to place it in the search engine and it will send you directly to it. Once in the group chat, choose the option Join the group and ready. It only remains to be aware of the group’s regulations and follow them.

Other methods to join a private or public Telegram group

Apart from the group link, there are also other methods to join a Telegram group. You can do it by manual method or by direct invitation.

Looking for it manually

Open the Telegram application, press the magnifying glass icon of the search engine, then in the bar, put the name of the public group you want to join. Once the name appears in the list, press it and apply the option Join the group and that’s it. You already belong to the group.

With a direct invitation

It is not possible to enter a private group or channel on Telegram on our own. A group member needs to send you a direct invitation via an invitation link. Once you receive it, you just have to access it and once inside the group you apply the option Join the group.

Is it possible for someone to remove me from the group I joined on Telegram?

Just as you can delete a Telegram contact, too it is possible to remove it from a group. Only those who act as administrator or owner of the group can access the function of eliminating or blocking one of its members.

Definitely, Telegram can be a good option to meet people and discuss any topic of interest in one of your groups. You just have to download the application, create an account and log into it to become part of this community and start enjoying everything that this App offers you.
