Channels in the Telegram messenger represent a mass mailing of messages to all users who need to be in the thick of things and at the peak of popular news. All users can read, subscribe and search for channels here without restrictions.
Telegram is a cross-platform messenger, due to which the exchange of both simple messages and media files of various formats is carried out. The efficiency of this popular service is provided by the capacities of German and American companies funded by Pavel Durov, as well as by several clients of the messenger who cooperate with him under the GNU GPL license. The popularity of the Internet resource is eloquently reflected in the monthly statistics of visits, which have long recorded this indicator at a level exceeding two hundred million users.
Interestingly, the target audience of Telegram in Russia is young people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. In the capital, however, this age limit falls on people from thirty-five to forty-five years old. It is believed that, on average, a Russian spends about ten minutes of free time on this messenger every day. It is important to know that since April 16, 2018, restrictions on the use of this resource have been introduced in our country.
Currently, ordinary correspondence is not limited to a single interlocutor, since modern instant messengers are focused specifically on collective communication. Telegram was no exception. Its creators are regularly improving their brainchild, and this, in turn, attracts an increasing number of users to the messenger. The main tool, which is designed to greatly simplify people's lives, is "Telegram channels". But there is a catch here. Many simply do not know how to search for these channels in Telegram. This creates difficulties in the operation of the messenger. If we try to compare the channel, then it looks like a public VKontakte page. A huge plus is that there are no annoying ads and unreasonable censorship on the channel. The channel is absolutely free. It is not spam. The user decides to join the channel or not only himself. In Russia, these channels first appeared in 2015 and have already gained immense popularity among subscribers.
Main features of channels
These channels are nothing more than unlimited distribution of user messages. Their main feature is that the channels are not separated into a separate news feed, which should be located in the list of dialogues. It is noteworthy that subscribers in the application receive notifications about fresh posts. But at the same time, the participants do not have the opportunity to comment in the feed, since they are just readers. But, despite this insignificant drawback, Telegram has many interesting channels: funny and stellar, historical and popular science, cognitive and psychological. All this makes it attractive to potential subscribers, and their army grows every day.
Initially, there was a mailing list in the application that was carried out by bots. This made the application popular and attracted users. Having studied and analyzed the interests of the target audience, the creators of the application decided to implement this opportunity in the classic version. Thus, channels are emerging whose capabilities are not limited to receiving messages alone. Now you can post here photos, videos, and thematic news of any format.
Symbiosis of messages and mailing elements
For the most part, the largest and most popular channels are a kind of symbiosis of messages and mailing elements. Their coexistence allows you to seamlessly present posts to users. There are two groups of "Telegram" -channels that have significant differences. They replaced the outdated Broadcast feature, which sent out messages to multiple contacts at the same time. The first group is private, the second is public. Thus, a private group of users has the opportunity to create its own personal thematic channel, on which questions on the interests of users will be discussed. It can also be public. In this case, everyone else can connect to it. A new user who connects to the channel has access to the history of the entire group's correspondence. Identification takes place using special mailings, which, in turn, simplifies the problem associated with searching for channels in Telegram. Messages located in the channel are equipped with a counter. It calculates the number of views, which allows you to evaluate the rating of a particular channel.
Popular Telegram channels
Already created, practicing and the most popular channels in Telegram attract a large number of users today. The following channels were recognized as the most thematically interesting:
- @sports_ru - sports news;
- @newgames - new items in app stores for Android and iOS;
- @tvrain - news information from the Dozhd TV channel;
- @foqusstore - new items in photography and art;
- @psychics - psychology and life stories;
- @SlonMag - these are recent important events;
- @teleblog - messenger blog.
Subscribers using the "Channels" function are those users who spend most of their free time in this messenger. They can create thematic chats, which will collect interesting information, the latest news, as well as download media files and listen to music. With the desire and persistence of individual active users, they can even become administrators of certain channels. If you join a chat, you are automatically subscribed to notifications, and you can always turn it off if you want.
Search for channels in "Telegram"
In order to find a particular channel in Telegram, you need to know certain algorithms. Special catalogs have been developed and successfully exist, which for the first time will orient and help you find channels without problems. The thematic orientation of the catalogs makes it very easy for users to find information. Today, many fresh news are effectively grouped on the following sites:
-
-
-
-
-
-
You need to understand that only public channels are in the public domain. If the user wants to enter a private chat, then he needs to contact the administrator of this chat and ask him to add himself to the private group. A distinctive feature of the channel is that the user will be signed only with his personal permission. If you take the same Facebook, where they can sign without the knowledge of the subscriber, it is forbidden to do this in Telegram. The user is given the opportunity to familiarize himself with the content of the channel. If its topic turns out to be interesting, and the user gives his consent, only then he will be signed. The ability to filter information is achieved by the fact that channel subscriptions are located in the same place as chats. The coexistence of messages and mailing lists, which makes it possible to provide posts to all users without any restrictions, is today the modern Telegram channel. Everyone who has already subscribed receives systematic notifications of entries. This allows you to be in the thick of the latest news and events.
